These parts fit between the pick head and the handle. Presumably to keep the head tight or strengthen the handle. I’m having a hard time finding a picture of a complete pick axe with these inserts.
I’m wondering if there is a term associated with them and when they went out of style.
These were hand forged by a blacksmith and probably added a bit more effort to making a miners pick.
