That small axe is one from the mid 1800s has a hammer on the back. The large one is a plumb axe. Old steel you can get amazingly sharp. Its better quality.
Yeah at market, yard sale, or a buy sell swap page. What country are you in? Another good tip is sometimes you get old axe from familly and the handel may have snapped. Do not put it in the fire to get the wood out. It dammages the quality of the steel.
What kind of axe are you using? The blade looks different than a usual hatchet

@@offgridnative9437 so it's probably something I'd need to find at a market etc? Not something I could get at a hardware?
