Spike Axe

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

I forged this spike axe from a ball peen hammer’s head.

The handle is made of wild olive that some people might think could be too hard for an axe handle, but I have tested it by chopping some wood and even hacked away at the wild mulberry tree in my backyard.  I tested the Spike side on an old telephone directory…scary shit!

I made a brass cap with my logos on and also gave the handle a varnish.

Black Axe

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

This was my first attempt at making an axe.  I forged it from an old 2kg hammer head.  I made a small leather sheath for the axe head and also did some rudementary carvings on the handle.
