A Black Axe from 2011

On March 7, 2012 by jaustin

After I got proficient at forming axe eyes by the symmetrical Y-wrap method I had worked out in 2010 I started to push the envelope of edge length. One nicely proportioned piece was this forge-finished axe for a re-enacting customer.

Forge-finished broad axe with symmetric Y-wrap eye and 1075 edge

      I’m glad that you like hand forged axes. Are you a blacksmith? It is exciting to hear from someone in Georgia!
