Well, I can't help being bemused and ribbing Mike because the tools and gear in Mike's shop and house are all meticulously organized and maintained. Hooks, hangers, drawers, boxes, containers, cubicles, file drawers.
Yet he obviously has some sort of Mr. Hydey-hole from which he can extricate objects in worse shape than the average Neanderthal tool found in 30,000 year old Alpine midden mounds.
Another double bit axe appears from Mr Hydey-hole to clean, sharpen and hang. And lookee there, I now have a Lansky dual grit sharpening puck. $7.99 at an old timey Feed and Seed store in rural NC.
It is visibly stamped - a Mann (Lewiston Pa) Knot Klipper, 2 lbs 12 oz. The head shape is somewhat similar to a Crown of Michigan axe, but with a lot more curve at the bottom of the edges. It is a distinctively and unusually shaped axe head and I haven’t found a depiction that looks quite like it.
OK, truth be told, this wasn’t a Hydey-hole fetch. A favorite bro-in-law saw the Michigan Double and Boys axes and mailed me this one with a request to clean and hang. He found the Lumbersexual thing even more amusing than me.
So intrigued that he went to see Cirque Alfonse perform Timber!
