viking axe again :)
viking axe again :)
I have a freshly forged viking axe to show today.
Has a 11 cm / 4.33 inch long edge. The head itself is 16.5 cm / 6.5 inch long and the shaft 40 cm / 15.75 inch.
It is 740 grams in total with a roughly 500 gram head.
Btw, you can also hunt me down on instagram, as "hellize1"

Beautiful, I think I might like it better than the first one.
Just don't know, they are both great!

Yeah, they are a bit different. You know how steel is, sometimes it wants to move here sometimes there, so I usually end up with different result when forging.

Re: viking axe again :)
Depends on how you define "crap weather." Me, I love 15C plus or minus 2C (60F +/- 5F) and overcast. Don't mind a bit of snow coming down, either!hellize wrote:Thanks!Steve Warden wrote:Some fantastic photos of a beautiful axe!

Re: viking axe again :)
yeah, well, if it goes under 0 celsius, I can't forge weld properly, the hearth doesn't heat up as it should and I also freeze to death in the shop, and if it goes above 25 celsius, I get a stroke next to the forge because of the perfect forge welding tempSteve Warden wrote:Depends on how you define "crap weather."

Re: viking axe again :)
Another great piece. It is always wonderful to see Csizmar's work... what a creative artist.
Check out this site which features Csizmar's work plus that of dozens of other craftsmen and women, most from Eastern Europe: https://knifeandcraft.com/en/.
Lots of beautiful knives but also other blacksmith work, bone carving, furnaces, knife-making vises, sharpening systems, sheathes and holsters, straight razors, engraving and lots more.

Hey Csizmar, move to Texas, in the summer it get hot enough you don't need a forge. Great work as always.
