In reply to yodadave:
As I was totally naive about their value I put the adze up for auction with a 'buy it now' price of £100. It went within ten minutes to a lady in France. So I put the hammer up for the price I paid initially over a decade ago. That one sold in 20 min. I think you could probably ask towards £200 per axe if not more - what's the worst that could happen? you'd just have to reduce the price if it didn't go. Im really surprised what people will pay for.
Mine were well used and on their second set of picks - but still had some paint on.
