Axe ends are fairly common on crate tools; I assume they were for modifying a crate somehow.

Is that a Diamond Calk Horseshoe product? Can't quite tell the logo from the darkish picture.

Yes it is a Diamond Horseshoe product. I've seen other brands with the axe head, but never a Diamond? Just curious if any one else has seen one before….thanks

Bridgeport wooden handled ones, yes, but all-steel ones, never.
I guess I just don't get around enough!
