Restoration of a Rusty Adze with an Ancient Pattern! What do the Secret Symbols mean?

I got this adze along with the fire ax that you saw on the channel just recently!
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the meanings of the symbols. But I only found that similar symbols are also found on "gypsy axes".

Recovery process:

First of all, I cleaned the adze of rust with a brass soft brush.
I then used the electrolysis process to more thoroughly remove the rust.
I decided to make the handle completely on my own, because now I have very cool planes (this is a gift from my viewer). The planing process is very addictive, and I lowered the first handle into shavings)))
Next, I burned the Handle properly. This is another way to protect the wood from rotting and it also gives the wood a very cool look!
At the end, I treated it with linseed oil in several layers. The first two layers were absorbed in a few seconds!

I liked the final version, although I do not see the practical application of this tool in the modern world!

There are also many more interesting videos on the channel, including about the Viking ax and the big blacksmith's hammer.

Good luck everyone and take care of yourself!

Sincerely, Max.
