    You know what? The way you made this bowtie and folded it over to fit so perfectly is the coolest way to forge an axe that I've ever seen. 😀Love your work.

    I just subcribe to your channel you really make quality axes I cut trees for a living sometimes and I use axes when I am chopping trees down I friend gave me an old axe that the opening for the handle is round so you just slide the handle and if the handle breaks you could just make another handle from a tree branch and it's ready to go I'm going to post it on my channel right now so you could see I would like to have another axe like the one that my friend gave me it's as I easy to replace the handle thanks for replying back you got my respect man it's hard to find quality tools now days keep up the good work

    In my opinion, this is the optimal light axe head. Not a hammer, fairly light compare to the cuttingedge and size in general. the handle is very stable in the head.
