Eylem Cengiz Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi all, I forged these two recently. These are my first two. The first one is forged from a 1"x1" square bar of 4140. Somehow I cracked the axe but repaired it via welding. After HT I left the texture. After the tempering I also left the temper color. The handle is ovengkol. It has a double-boiled linseed oil finish, with the help of some thinner of course... I made the other from a hammer. I just hammered the edge. The eye is original.

Robakyo Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Very nice forgings. How do they cut? I like the handle shape on your first ax. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eylem Cengiz Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 The first one was sharpened to cut hair. It made feather sticks and thin wood shavings nicely. I don't expect it to stay sharp for ever but I preferred to send this present in its best condition. The second one cuts hair somehow but it has a wider bevel.
