thanks for the nice words!

I also made one, some time ago.

But not so cool, and a little bit smaller!

Prost  :)

Hi, my name is Johannes, I'm 17 years old and I live in Austria!

Currently I visit a secondary technical school for blacksmiths and metallshapers,called "Höhere Technische Lehranstalt - Steyr"

I want to show you a little axe i made in February this year, out of self-forged damascus steel.

I twisted the steel-package 90° in the middle, so the layers were normal to the eye of the axe, as i chiseled and drifted it, and also the layers were parallel to the blade, as i spread the blade of the axe.

It's very important for me, that you know that this a tool and no weapon.

And it's also used as a tool, and doesn't lay in the glass case the whole time  :D

The beech-handle and the leather-sheath is also self made.

Hope you like it, please feel free to write what you think about it  :)

best regards from Austria,

Johannes
