Here's a few miniatures up for grabs. The axe was made for a gift, but I came up with another one I thought was more that person's style. They may be small, but each one still takes a few hours of labor (and eyestrain) to complete!
Both of the heads are made from 1/4" thick 440C, and the handles are G-10. The hatchet is convex ground with a slightly rounded, flat striking area on the back of the head and a satin finish. It measures 1 3/4" tall and 15/16" from edge to the back of the head.
The axe is based on the classic "fireman's axe" pattern- it is convexed both towards the blade and spike, and has a semi- mirror finish. It is 2 1/2" tall and 1 1/2" from the edge to the tip of the spike.
Although these are display pieces, they are still sharp- I convexed the blades to a zero edge and buffed them, and the spike has a nice point. The handles were fitted by hand and then epoxied into place. My maker's mark is scrimshawed into the handles and filled in with enamel paint.
There's also some quick pics of the underside and top of the heads to show the construction.
The hawk is $30 and the axe $40, including shipping. International shipping may be more- PM me if you need to know.
Thanks for looking!
