So far I havent been able to find a real danish axe on the internet that has a diamond cross section. If anyone knows where to get one I could realy use the help.

Hello Tom,
There is a picture of a reinforced bit in this thread:

The picture is not a top down, but that is effectively what you would see on the pictured example. I'll dig around for some additional images of originals.
Are you concerned about the historical evidence of reinforced edges, or just the diamond cross section in articular?

I'm actually trying to buy one. Most "danish axes" from major companies are built like a woodsmans axe with an extremely thick body or without the reinforcing diamond. So I'm pretty much in your position a year ago Gavin .

Tom I recommend Bronze Lion if budget is a constraint.
He built me an axe to my specifications (ok the blade was a little thick at 4mm) for less than I would have paid for some of the cheap mass produced axes on the market, and a fraction of what most of the custom/high end makers are charging.
At the very least, have him give you a quote. I promise you will be pleasantly surprised.
