The HB makers mark is a cold stamp, which was used before 1988. It looks like this one was painted blue, which means it was made under the Agdor line – very popular in the 1970s. I would guess this axe was made between 1970-1988.
This is by far my favorite. I use a double bit all year, for many years, usually for more than it was intended… I’ve split a hundred cords of wood with it, lol.
You can create a new view of axes by using any of the menus below. Filter by year produced (in decades), by the type of axe or
hatchet, or by whether or not the item has been identified.

I had the chance to buy one of these at a flea market, to this day I regret not buying it! Certainly my favorite axe pattern made by HB.

I would love to take down some firewood with that beautiful tool!
Lee ChamberlainOctober 3, 2017 at 8:19 pm
If only it had a nice handle to complete it!

Plus, Paul Bunyan would’ve wanted one of these in his wood chopping arsenal.

My father had one very similar to this one when I was growing up. I so wish I had it!

Love this axe. Found one in a fire pit years ago and did my best to restore it.

Jordan, nice handle for a nice rescue. Keep swinging!

This is by far my favorite. I use a double bit all the time… usually for more than it was intended. I’ve split a hundred cords of wood with mine, lol.
