Not really an ice ax but the average temp in my shop has been around 30 degrees since I started this project. Its not totally finished but real close. The head was hand forged out of 1" square 1080. I up set the front to almost 2" before I started forging the bit. The customer was wanting 4" point to point on the bit. If I had a large enough opening in the forge I could have gotten 5" easily. Its got a 13 1/2" extra curly maple haft. I'll get more pictures after its completed.
