Gavel of Ragnarök

[Spots]

One of the guys I made good friends with training last year decided he wanted an axe similar to one carried on the show Vikings. So this is what u came up with. This was my first day off in 3 weeks and I worked 5:00 pm to 5:00 am, then drove straight from work to the shop and forged this out. Mild steel body with a forge welded 5160 bit. Apps 4 lbs. 9.5" Long point to point, 29" handle

Forge welded eye



Hot cutting the leaf spring for the bit.





The finished product and one tired blacksmith. I call her the Gavel of Ragnarök since that will be the judgment of the Gods.

Only thing cooler would be one in each hand. Pretty sweet.

Awesome...and chilling, especially when reading your sig line. And I read a lot of the Norse legends, so it fits well.

Good job!

Drool!  (You'll be glad to know I am referring to the axe, not the blacksmith.)
