Hunters belt axe

[srtben]

Every once in a while I will cut out axe head in the midst of all the knives, and I slowly work on it as a side project. Here is one of those that just really came together nicely imho.
The head is L6 saw steel, hafted on an a rustic piece of hickory w/ 2 peened brass pins. The sheath has artificial sinew flemish twist cordage, and an elk antler toggle.
This thing is very light and would make  a great bowyer's or trappers axe.
let me know what you think!

I think that is awesome.  Is the head secured with anything other than brass pins?  Is it for using or mainly decor?
Thanks

I wouldn't fall a tree with it, but it would work great for skinning or making a bow. It only has the brass pins, but two 1/4" brass pins are pretty strong, the weak point would be the wood, just like on any axe.
