February 10, 200719 yr Laminated Viking Style Hand Axe, med carbon steel body with a 1095 high carbon steel edge forge welded in. Differentially hardened and tempered to leave the edge harder than the body of the axe allowing for good edge holding, but a tough axe. Blade is blued and oiled for rust resistance. Handle is straight grained high density cherry, double wedged for safety
