All you forgers....
I would like a small belt axe forged.
I have a pattern:

I want it to attached to the handle like an axe (meaning wedges not slid up the handle like a tomahawk).
I will do the finish work and make the handle as well. I guess all I really need is for it to be forged and heat treated completely....
I would rather trade, but will pay if we cannot trade (may take me a bit o' time to save up though!).
For trade I have:
flat stock of 5160 (3" wide X 18" long X 1/4" thick)I have 2 pieces.
a 100% italian wool blanket
a crap ton of rr splikes
goddard's $50 knife shop (updated 100% color ed.)
PM me if you are interested and we can work out something. I am not opposed to sending the trade goods or money first
Mods:If this is is the wrong sections please move...
That design will skin well, and is a great fighting design. It will not perform very well when chopping wood. To much arc at the forward curve of the blade. Just my thoughts based on a bunch of design experience.
That is the exact reason! I really want it as a butchers tool more than anything......
What would you charge to make the head?
