started this one today cut and hardened blade, forged hook, hand made and riveted the loops on the handle (also hand shaped) still got lots more to do, but its a bad beast at this level look forward to seeing what finished blade can do

dont know how balanced its gonna be, like all axes its top heavy, as for finish, plan is too sand back the metal to shiny and sand back the shaft and stain it dark brown

The world needs MORE POLEARMS (think Christopher Walken character on Saturday Night Live..."More Cow Bells").

Well, I guess I can't see all the details from just the photos. Either way, it still looks awesome.

Dang. Wish you could ship this to the U. S. for a reasonable price. I'd buy it right away.
