Just a little belt axe I forged out yesterday

 

Love the etching. Nice to see an ax with some mass on the back.

It's beautiful, but you're leaving out a lot of information like what it's made of.

Beautiful work and beautiful Damascus. I would probably try to figure out a reason to carry this so folks could admire it :)

Thanks all.

 

Made from 40 layers of 1080 and 15N20 - It's a really small axe as per clients specs.

130mm long
Blade 50mm wide
eye area 35mm wide x 35mm thick at outside of eye

 

Made for hunting - we call it a meat axe

Many times I have tried to forge weld belts and each end up the same,,,stink really bad and do not bond...have never gotten past that .

LOL - took me while.  Me, I just stitch them together - works evrytime

Thanks all.

As is cleaning the animal? Or the actual weapon used for hunting?

As in cleaning up - skinning.

Now with handle. Red Milkwood.







Thanks for looking

Beautiful axe looks like it would be handy when opening an elk rib cage.
