I'll give that some consideration. I've got it on there pretty tight, and I'm leery of beating it off with a hammer. The steel's pretty hard, and I'm a little worried about cracking it. I had to do it a few times getting it shaved down, and it made me wince. My hand's pretty angry now also.
That maul I got earlier had a rotten eye section. It looked like it was hardly used, and most of the handle was perfect. I'm guessing it was sitting in a garage for a long time, and moisture came up from the bottom. Anyway, I shaved that down and reset it tonight also. Need to give my hand a break, and I'll contemplate options for the sappie.
