Camping season is coming folks, and these work for splitting wood as well as "mountain man darts". :D
Forge welded mild steel, superquenched. ...see http://www.cvbg.org/tips/superquench.PDF.
I've made over 10,000 using this quench.
Edges are @4", @5 1/2 back of eye to the edge
Handles are ash
Price $40.00 + shipping. Paypal or MO

Can you please explain "mild steel"? I'm sorry, I don't really know my steels. I'm used to knife steels, 1095, 01, etc. Please excuse my ignorance!
 
Neat! :thumbup:

What are the lengths on the handles and do they make decent throwers (balance)?

Thanks! :D
 
abiggs, Mild steel has only a little carbon. Carbon has to be added to iron to make steel. With higher amounts of carbon added, steel can be hardened enough to make knives and tools. This is a very simplified version.
The tomahawks have a little carbon but it's enough that if the steel is quenched quickly,
it gets hard enough to make a nice axe.
