You know i work my tail off for alot of people to have nice thing's,thought i'd finish a project for myself,i get alot of slabbed end's off of log's from my buddy's and use them to chop into chunck's and sliver's to get a good fire going in the forge before i dump the coal to it,this little guy's fit's the bill perfectly.

I finally broke down and forged me an axe drift and went with a 14 inch handle to maximize the weight of the head for splitting,i love it and it's all mine,Have a goood weekend :thumbup:
 
Hey Buddy, I'll trade ya a sheath or so for that little chopper. ;-))) That is VERY NICE. I think you should trade with me though ;-)))

Best regards

I'm just finishing the sheath for that monster Bowie you made. Talk about a chopper. Ya don't need an ax if you have one of your monster Bowies.

nice.

that's about the same as the little Mjolnir hand axes i've been making out of modified Cold Steel Rifleman's Hawks.

how big is the eye?

Hey Steve,
Nice log splitter. I'm loving the shark necker I got from you a couple of months ago, hope all is well at the forge.

PS, Vec, Steve is a great guy and if you have a lot of tech questions I humbly suggest PMing him, it's starting to get a little testy for no reaon.

donmecca glad to hear your getting good use out of the Shark,in light of recent phone call's from people that could barely speak English is the reason for not giving out info and such,got a pretty good idea how they got my number too,maybe next time they call they'll have somebody that speak's fluente English,shame i had to hang up on em cause i could'nt understand em

Thank's Dusty One,it's working out real well for it's intended purpose,Have a Good One :thumbup:
 
Steve,

That is another awesome looking piece!!:thumbup:
I've missed seeing your posts with all of the nice looking hawks to tempt me.
Good to see you posting again.
I have gotten into throwing the hawks I got from you. I have found that buying spare handles is mandatory!
It is a ball. My brother in law and my sister are still better than me.:o
I gave them one and they get to practice more than me though. It is a fun thing to do while smoking meats, barbecuing and drinking beer on a warm spring day!:thumbup:;)
I look forward to seeing more of your work. Always looking to the next need! HeHe
