Camp/Viking axe


Recommended Posts

After helping out my dad yesterday I had some free time to get in to the forge. So I tapped my inner Viking for this build. The runes are Thurisaz for defense and destruction, Uruz for speed and strength, and Tiwaz for honor and leadership. Handle is 29" of seasoned oak. Mild steel body and 5160 bit. The blade is 3" wide, and the head is 7" from back of eye to the edge of the bit. It will shave hair pretty easily after splitting 4 pieces of seasoned oak firewood. I'm damn proud of this one.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I do believe this piece is gonna stay in my possession, since I have very few of my own things and I love the way it looks and feels

As well you should be.  That thing looks awesome.  I love that it isn't just a 'display' piece and that you have already split some wood to test its strength and edge retention.

Yeah I've never understood having anything that is display only. Some things may not be practical but being usable and surviving hard use is a must
