May 27, 201412 yr Awesome process pics! I must ask, where do you get your inspiration from? Clearly it's something of Norse origin, but what feeds that fire? I know some people draw their inspiration from novels, movies, videogames, history, etc. Mine tends to be a combination of all. But I'm very interested in what inspiration helps you design and forge these beautiful axes!

September 21, 201411 yr Author I meant the taper of the handle. Hi T,J. watts . None of mine are round or turned .

Heres a view of a rasp folded , welded and the tear drop shape not sure of how much degrees tho . <script type="text/javascript"> //
