That's fairly simple. I think we were planning on doing one with a steel haft. I dont see we couldnt do one to be mounted on wood. I will get back to you on that. |

The site wont load for me. I will check from the shop. Just watched a good show on the History Channel about Vikings and the tools of the trade. I want to get a few of our viking and danish axes out next. |

Hey Matthew-
is there a cost-effective way to produce the design elements shown below without having to do casting? I suppose you could etch them but that probably wouldn't look right. Any other ways? It's pretty cool stuff. (reading the caption, I see that it's a reproduction in itself, made by Dave Swift. You can see it here) |

I have not gotten around to doing the Sutton Hoo axe yet. I do plan to make one soon as I have had the designs ready to go for awhile.
I also like that danish axe alot. I will be doing one with a swept up tip like that in the next week and will be sure to take good pictures. We also have a boarding axe in the works with langets. Should be a nice one! Thanks for the input, keep it coming. |

Thanks Jean. From tip to tip the Bardiche is 20". I have several other patterns in the works. Some even with the pierced holes.
The two standard sizes of sockets we use is 1" Inside diameter and 1.25" Inside diameter. Custom socket sizes are available if needed. I will update the site with more info on these axes as soon as we get this Ohio Ren Fest order done today. |

Most of our smaller axes come with the 1" ID socket and the larger ones we use the 1.25" ID. If ordering from us you can request either for any of the heads. From Kult and other dealers I know that the Bardiche will be 1.25" as standard. |

When ordered from us, yes. Sharps come with hard edge and soft body.
I am not sure what version KOA will get. Makes since to send them a pre-sharp, but blunts are in demand as well. |
