Bardiche????

[J.Davey]

Does anyone know of a company or maker that makes a good bardiche (look it up if you don't know what one is; they're quite cool)? I would love to see this blade style incorporated (somehow) into a hawk/axe design. Thanks!

That style of Blade Is Huge, In order to get It down In size for a Hawk or an Axe It would take away the Original Design & purpose of being a Huge Battle Axe type Weapon, You might be able to order a Forged Axe In that design from a Good Blacksmith,

Snake, I did see one on-line that was scaled down a bit to be a two handed axe, but the quality was questionable. I just like the general blade shape and pointed tip. Mineral Mountain Hatchet Works has some axes that are close to what I'd like to see, but I like the idea of the space between the eyes of a scaled down-or shorter handled- bardiche (for choking up on the blade). Just winging out an idea. Thanks for the feedback!
