Best Estate Sale Haul Yet : Axes, Cutlery, Old Chainsaw 

That first Knife was made from an old forged pair of cast steel Sheep Shears!!!! I have run across a few similar over 40 years. Ones I saw had Antler/Bone handles

If you need a plane guy then I'm your guy. The Stanley planes you want to look for in order of price are the No. 1 ($1000-$2000), the No. 2 ($200-$300), the No. 8 ($80-$200), and the No. 7 ($50-$90). The ridges milled into the bottom of some of the planes are called corrugation and Stanley created them with the thought of reducing friction of the sole on the wood. About 10% of all Stanley planes are corrugated and it does make them worth about $10-$50 more. FYI the corrugation does not actually reduce friction at all. I only know about Stanley planes because from a functionality POV all other planes are crap so I cant tell you anything about other planes. You may also want to look out for the Stanley No. 45, No. 50, and No, 55. You've probably seen them before they are very complicated planes with a lot of knobs and dials and the 45 typically goes for $45-$100, the 50 goes for $80-$200, and the 55 goes for $100-$300. I hope this was useful. (:

I'm assuming you probably know this already but that first knife was marked "Sheffield" and any tool steel from/made in Sheffield England is very commonly regarded to be the best tool steel to ever come out of the industrial revolution. I pick up anything that is marked Sheffield even if it is in poor shape or I don't have a use for it.

I spent the last two days cleaning up 9 hatchets. I stripped, sanded, stained a couple, linseed oiled, and tightened up the handles. I filed, sanded, blued, and oiled the heads. They are all mounted on the walls and ready to use

That’s an awesome tool haul there man, you did really good and you found some gems! Nice going.

Great info on the dates. I did not know about the crown logo for craftsman. It is such fun finding and restoring the older stuff!

The knife with the odd handle is made out of sheep shears.

Laser Cleaning Tools: All you guys can easily get rid of rust, paint, dirt and so on with the new Laser Cleaning Tool! There is a guy called Kit and he shows a portable Laser Cleaning Tool in his Video "World's most PORTABLE LASER cleaning machine!!!".

A guy in one of my knife groups posted a pic of a Sheffield knife that was really similar, I can't remember all the details but I remember it was like 1840s or earlier. I think for shearing sheep or something like that . Kabar and Case made kitchen knifes . They are cousins so they made a lot of similar stuff.

on 23:22 .for the chop. For working with meat in the kitchen

The first knife you showed, the one with the weird tang, reminds me a lot of old shears. I guess it's a broken shear that got refurbisehd into a knife

that split face hammer was made in the state of Maine..Saco is pronounced same as taco.. i am from Dexter Maine

If you can't find any information on the first knife. I'd call it the chew toy tang. Niiiice haul pal be safe

Meat saw. I’ve restored several Estwings. Hot wax the leather and buff. Hard as wood and last forever. It’s called a kitchen axe I believe. Tenderizer/ cleaver

The Craftsman plane is a corrugated bottom, as I never restore chipped planes but you can grind down the chip in front to make it even with the other side. It also looks like the tote and knob are plastic, I have a couple of very old Craftsman planes that have the rosewood handles. This week I found four axes and they will all take work to restore, like mushroomed heads, horrible grinds on the double bit blade, a Rexford boys axe, but I can see you have a lot of work ahead on them axes.

I may be mistaken, but I swear I've seen a knife with a tang like that which had a jawbone handle. I'm confident that it was modified from something else, but couldn't say what. That unbranded boys axe I'm thinking a 1990's collins, the ones with the black paint and yellow scroll font logo. That little vise is a Stanley handyman, the red and blue paint scheme gives it away. I really like michigans myself, and especially that particular Honestead. One just like that was my 1st axe, which belonged to my grandfather. My assessment is that they're a very early production Mann era collins Homestead, early enough to still have convex cheeks but not too high of a centerline and the bits are quite thin. I also have a Homestead western DB of the same era.

It’s made from a pair of sheep shears

Definitely modified sheep shears for the knife. As far as that first boys axe or hatchet with the 1 1/4 or 1/2 M mark stands for Mann I believe. If you wanna sell the blue gba or HB axe I would gladly buy it lol. Great video’s absolutely look forward to watching these every time. Thank you!

That little vise is a Wilton. I've got a bigger one identical to it.

That one head that had the hole drilled thru , i understand that the U.S. Forestry service requires all the hand axes to be drilled and pinned , just something I've heard. Maybe someone on here can expand on this .

The RLM is pretty cool that's my initials and was my Dads. If you found that in VA it's very possible it could have been his. He marked all his stuff

That first knife is half of a sheep shear scissors

Oh and that last one! Union tool is what I think I saw!

I'm pretty sure that was a meat tenderizer hammer.

It is a butchers meat tenderizer,missing a thin metal cutting edge on opposite end

Disstonian Institute is the place to go for saw information including the Warn and Ted saws Disston made for others.

My dad's C52 got stolen, bought new in1966. The ethanol gas will ruin the gasket s in the tillitson carb and the points will need filed but if it is run right they will last forever

Nice haul

Ford whench is from model T or A set

That mystery axe head that had RLM on it looked like it said union tool

That little vise might be a stanley handyman

Knife could be made from 1/2 of a pair of sheep shears

Yes a meat tenderizer

Greenlee makes hand tools for electricians. I also have a Greenlee draw knife.

Hi do you no how to sharpen a petrol lawnmower blade .hopefully you can help ❤❤

Oh I think that blue rafting(?) pattern GFB I believe is a Hults Bruk - I have multiple HB vtg axes and they use the blue but I could be wrong. And yea GF was shit until they bought SAW (Wetterlings) in the late 90’s

Rex Krueger has a lot of videos on hand planes.

M for Mann Edge Tool Co possibly.

What brand linseed oil do you use/trust

What flea market do you it up

I have the Same Kabar chef knife mine is pretty mint and it’s exactly same as yours ❤

27:20 looks like union tool

Nonsense! The ax doesnt go that deep in a cut

That. Knife. Is. Made. With. Half. Of sheep. Shears. Not. Worth much. $ 1
