#A39 Hand-Forged Bag-Axe
Hand-forged colonial bag-axe. This is a brand new, original, historically influenced bag-axe that I forged in my blacksmith shop, The North River Forge. I specialize in hand-forged reproductions of the 18th and 19th centuries. They have an authenticity rarely found in other maker's work. Each piece is unique. Dimensions: Head overall 5 1/4" - Cutting edge 2 3/4" wide. Steel: 1018 head with a piece of high carbon 1095 welded to the cutting edge. Traditional 18th century blacksmithing methods. Haft: Ash, hand turned 12" long Finish: Aged finish. Period correct. Sheath: Veg-tan leather. Special Features: File work on front and side of the blade. Line carving on haft. Head is in the style of a French Biscayne trade-axe. This bag-axe is stamped with my makers mark NR. Great for re-enactors or collectors who crave tradition. Hand crafted in the traditions of long ago. It is a reminder of an era past. A very nice reproduction frontier bag-axe that will take and keep a good edge. It has never been carried or used. Functional as well as beautiful. Great for many jobs around the camp, home or shop. A classic 18th century design. Price: $195.00 plus $18 shipping (USA - Canada)
