Yep. 3 line swaty and vintage nortons are bought by axemen. I think it was Howard from the perfectedge who knew this from axemen friends.

Not a stupid question, as most people nowadays would probably ask, "Is it a Word doc, pdf, or jpg? I asked the woman at teh computer store for a bastard and she slapped me.":shrug:
Right you are. The file classification is evenly numbered, so mathematically speaking the "bastard" and "second cut" are the middles--the bastard being rougher as in courser. A single-cut means there's one row of diagonal teeth running up the file. A double-cut means there's two opposing diagonal rows running up the file, crossing each other, that form little diamonds. The single takes off less material per stroke but leaves a smoother finish while the double takes off more material per stroke but leaves a rougher finish.
Keep me posted! I will most likely bring my splitting maul! We heat our house with fire wood and I like splitting logs so I have a hardware store special.
do throwing/battle axe's count?
so the first of my axes came in today..today it was the mini hatchet.
When i got the axe i wanted to see if it was as sharp as everyone keeps saying. It easily sliced through hanging paper so i was impressed. Next i took it to the yard to clean up a bit. I was very impressed with this tiny little beast. took care of small branches up to 2 inches no problem, chopped up everything very easily into nice little bundles for me.
Afterwards i treated it with a little coticule touch up and it was even sharper than before. I will say this is by far my best wilderness acquisition to date.
I will be sure to post pics soon but for now I'm going to see if my neighbor needs help in their yard.... :P
Will let you young guys dink around with axes:) I pack my chainsaw when I go camping.
