Group Buy on a Nessmuk Axe?

[Shing]

Any pics please?

 

[British Red]

Shing,

Sadly not yet - I have sent some initial designs over to Cegga and he will cut some steel when he gets the chance. It'll be a while in the making this one. There is just and I repeat just a tiny chance that I might be able to talk him into a limited number of damasteel axes for us too.

I can't imagine any one would want one of those though

No please do. arghhhh temptation!!!

Cegga and you are spoiling us rotten, I've seen pics of some of his damascus axes, the ring type (dont know the proper word) especially are amazing, looks just like the growth rings on a tree, wonderful stuff.

Dunc, at these prices I wouldn't have dared...they were going to be almost £3 more than regular axes

however they are cancelled since Shinken thought them "bad"

(okay, numpty alert, this is a joke, they are the most costly axe you will ever handle and please, release Shinken from the altar and put the Woodlore down)

We'll see

Another batch of Hunters first

Then the double bit / and or the damascus axes (maybe, perhaps, possibly no promises...)

Funny though isn't it. People quibble at paying the price for the best axe in the world that costs the same as a semi production knife

Go figure

[Shing]

A damascus axe sounds just so cool!

 

[Shinken]

If i had a good body i'd give parts of it away to have one of these axes!!

 

[Celt_Ginger]

I have lots of spare body. Anyone want to buy some flab? Need cash for an axe.

 

[Cegga]

Try ´d to do one today . Just to see if I can do it this one is a little small .But now I no what I need to fix for the real one:werd: Can not get the pics in

Please note this is far from the finished product - just a show of the effort that goes into designing and building such a thing

This head is not the final shape or weight - just a "sketch" to show we are listening!

Interest, interest, INTEREST.

Having missed the last group buy by minutes, I'd probably be looking to trip my own deadfall if I missed one of those :sulkoff:

 

[British Red]

Spikey you have prototype #1

This however is prototype #3

Now the shape is much, much better - but its the differential grind that really is unique

I'll post a grind picture later

Red

 

[British Red]

Now, tis is a real differential grind - a proper cutting axe on one side and a really strong splitter on the other. Not just a question of bevel - but a real differential grind.

What do you think?

[tinderbox]

Is that a full scale model Red? It looks very small to me. I've never handled a double header so I can't judge how much the weight of the unused head will add to the power of the head being used, but my gut feeling is that is a light axe.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the profile of the grinds looks really good.
