Antique Firefighter Axe ’VICTORIA’ - Restoration (ASMR)

In this video I’m going to restore an antique firefighter axe. I’ve always wanted to restore an axe since the beginning of my channel, but I’ve never found a cool looking one. But then, all of a sudden I came across this beautifully designed firefighter axe and knew immediately that this will be the one. I’ve found it at my friendsplace, he took it home from the steel waste and sold it to me for $20. I really love the design of those firefighter axes with the two keys that secure the axe head. To secure the keys there’s always a pin/rivet going through the handle. This axe was very special, because the manufacturer really payed attention to grind the rivets flush and let them completely dissappeared. Top quality I’d say.
