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"

I have questions to axe you... *yukyukyuk* :D

What steel and hardness? Looks like a torched wood handle, which wood is that?

Beautiful work!

I used 5160, like I usually do. The hardness I can't tell exactly, unfortunately I don't have a hardness measuring device.
Yes, the handle is a bit burned, it is beech wood.
 
Why do I strangely want one yet I have no wood to chop. I might get some weird looks at work if whip one out the chop off some fish heads.

Nah, it is just natural ;) Every man wants to be a great warrior secretly, deep inside his soul ;)
 
Have 2 axes and not a single bit of forest/wood to chop...
Hehe :)
Yeah, I miss the good old days of lethal diphtheria and deadly appendicitis. :D In those times you didn't need wood for a nice chopping action ;)
