The blade will lay flat to your work without the poll being in the way. #4813 and #4823: Beveled on one side (straight scissors sharpened) with angle of handle to same side as bevel.# 4811: Handle ‘eye’ to left of double beveled blade.# 4803 is the same straight profile with the bevel only on the right.#4802 is the same straight profile with the bevel only on the left,.Good all purpose…most common…(although Scotty has several broadaxes and none of them are double sided sharpened). ![]() #4801: Handle ‘eye’ in a straight line with blade (not offset), and beveled on two sides (double sided sharpened) with the ‘eye’ (where the handle attaches), and the handle in a straight line with the axe head…this is considered a chopping broadaxe…although it can also be used for hewing.Here’s a bit of help in determining the differences… do you stand to one side of your work, reach over the beam/log and cut on the side away from you…or do you straddle the work (more of an American long handle style)…of do you reach across your body and work on the side of the beam closest to your…Yikes!
