I’m just going to stroke it…I'd polish that to a knife edge
I’d like one of each they make, works of art.

Good axes. I use a GB hewing axe for work. Takes and holds an edge supremely well.
Like this one but mine's got a right-hand crank and it's a right-hand single grind. It's a bit heavy really. Supposed to be 3.5 lb but it's more like 4+ but I keep it for it's edge and just accept having a right arm like Popeye.
That's how I have mine. Lovely and smooth to sharpen, and easy being a single grind. I use an oiled 800 grit diamond hone, not a puck. I like to get it where it's just starting to take the hairs off my arm. I could get it so it shaves my chin but for what I do that risks getting nicks in the edge, especially in cold weather.I'd polish that to a knife edge
That said, it's very robust and the temper is just right. Not so soft it dulls easily, but not so hard it's a bitch to sharpen and chips easy. Perfect work axe.
