Recycling at its best

[Spots]

Just like the old timers, we like to use old worn out tools and give them a new life. We took a single bit ax that broomshead left us that was beyond its useful life, threw it in the forge, did some cutting, straightening, sharpening and drawing, and ended up with a heavy short ax/hatchet. I use it to throw, and with that much heft behind it, it sinks very deep, and throws well. It also still chops well for a small camp ax, and has a good, useable hammer pole. It has almost a bearded viking ax look, thanks to the art work of broomshead. I think it would make an approiate battle ax to go with my viking beard and pissy demeanor. Let us know what you think

Cool. The shape of blade looks a little unusual. Is that by design or...?

Thats by design. It was made to look simliar to a viking bearded ax.
