I found a site a long time ago and came across a page on a forged axe head so here's the site :

i wanted to know more about axes and axes maker... i know paul binn make nice looking axes but are they reliable for practice? And if i want to make my haft stronger to parry swords or other weapon what should i use to cover it?

if you have some BIG info on makers or just on axes of the viking era (i like tomahawk too) it would be great to read it from you! :D
