those look great!

did you start out with a solid billet of steel and drill/machine out the eyes, and grind all the shapes? ...or did you start with a forged shape?

i look forward to seeing how they turn out, i'm sure they will be good!

Those look great, Cegga! What steel did you use? Also, could you show us a "top down" view?

I can not do that rigth now I send them to the company that I made them for.
They want to gring them by them self .But I will have them back after ,then I take the pics
The steel are the same as in a Gränsfors axe or a steel all axe makers use in Sweden
And I harden them one to 60 HCR and one to 55 HCR
