I bought this at a garage sale as a present to my son. I already have
a perfect Russian made carpenting axe, but this one seemed like it was
made for actually using it, was in a good shape and the price was
right. So it is a present to my 6 y.o. son, whom I will teach to use
it safely. I already sharpened it on a bench grinder.

My question is, do you have any idea who may have made it and what is
its intended use. My guess is carpenting but I do not know that too
well.

thanks
