About

There was a time when the U.S. made the best steel in the world and with that, some of the best axes. Names like Collins, Plumb, Norlund, and Kelly ruled the day. Those days have come and gone and most of our steel if now made in China. At Heritage Axe Co. we have not forgot those days of glory and believe that these old axes deserve a second day. We poke our heads around in flea markets and salvage yards to find these old treasures. We bring these old axe heads back to life through hours of refinishing and polishing. These refinished and recycled treasures are then re-hung to US Forest Service instructions on Appalachian hickory handles hand made in Tennessee. Our handles are then stained or painted to make these heritage axes the show piece they deserve. We then finish off our handles with the fire of the Heritage Axe Co. brand and seal them with purified organic linseed oil.
