Benton Frisse Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris john Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 I meant the taper of the handle. Hi T,J. watts . None of mine are round or turned . I use tear drop shape i prefere that style instead of wedging . try Kane over there they sell drifts . Heres a view of a rasp folded , welded and the tear drop shape not sure of how much degrees tho . <script type="text/javascript"> // Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
