Havoc91 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 This is an axe that I forged for a friend back in January,sorry that I don't have pictures with the forging process but I wasn't thinking of posting it back then. It is forged from a pickaxe,the slot is made by slit and drift method,all hand forged no power tools,just the grinding involves power tools,the handle is acacia wood. Hope you like it.:) :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolish Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Looks like a nice chopper, what steel did you use for it? All just one bit of steel or did you add a different steel for the axe bit??? Looks like it should handle some medium chopping tasks, Needs some more close ups of the good the good stuff, the steel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what type of steel they use in pickaxes but it holds a very fine edge,it is forged from one single piece of steel no bit welded. These are the only pictures that I have,as I said i gave it away to a friend,in future projects I will take pictures of the forging process and closeups of the finished product.
