Francesca, Francisca, Frankish Throwing Axe

[I.N.F.K]

I've been looking for a Frank style throwing axe with a long eye on it like the one pictured below. Now the only two that I know of are done by Hanwei and H&B Forge. In my opinion I think the Hanwei looks more aesthetically pleasing than the H&B. However, neither of the two have the longer eye like I want. Now I would like it to have the long eye, while being a functional piece, because I will probably want to throw it and take it camping. The fact of having something and not being able to use it just is not an option to me.

Thanks for suggestions

Wow! I that's a neat piece! Would Gransfor burkes carry something like this? Yes I'm sure I spelled the maker wrong....lol.

They apparently use 410 stainless steel. I know that some makers use it for bolsters, but I never heard of it used as the steel for the blade.
