Camp ax I just finished

Thanks, guys!

Omniviking - It's a good stout medium carbon steel along the lines of 4140 to 5160. The ax was used to clear quite a little brushy patch, and it accidentally split a few softer rocks without picking up much edge damage. I'm about to be making more of these out of 4140.

Bigtoof - I don't follow you. You want the handle shortened...why? This thing rocked for what I used it for, namely clearing brush. It would have been much harder with a short handle. For backpacking I could see it, but I made this for myself and the handle length was good. And weddings...you mean the welds? There are no welds. This was made from a single piece with the eye punched.

Here's what I did with this ax and a couple of machetes I made:
