Hunter/backpacker's ax

[Raymond Richard]

Forged this one from 1" square 1080. Good sized head on a short stick. 5 1/4" head with a 3" cutting edge. Cabinet grade maple was used for the handle. Its 10 3/4" long and weights 23oz.

Raymond,
That is one of the best looking axes I've seen. I'd like to see your demos on forging, if I ever get a chance. Beautiful axe! Lin

I can only concur: nice and sexy!

Looks like a DANDY to me. Nice work:thumbup: :thumbup:

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

When does your forging video hit the stands, Ray?
Do I need to come out and hold the camera for you?

I really like the head on that axe, very nice. The handle has me going both ways though, looks like it would be very comfortable. Really nice job

That's a nice little axe! It looks it's all business:thumbup:!

I second the video/dvd request.
