    Default Viking Battle Axe Custom

    Truth of the matter is that I have no idea what a Viking battle axe looks like. But that's what I had envisioned when I made this. It is 8/8's 1/4 hollow with triple spikes and an acid finish which gives it a rustic look. It has no filework or jimps. The scales are European red deer antler with an epoxy finish. Wedge is black horn. The Script is laser engraved in ancient Runic.

    This is the blade that I said I would never shave with, because I'm scared of shaving with a spike point. My face is just way too pretty to risk that!

    As always, thanks for looking

    ps: Thanks to Spazola for the lesson on acid finishing

    You've been coming out with some great stuff lately mate.
    This one's both beautiful and scary.

    P.S. The acid finish looks sweet too.

    Very cool razor. The scales are very cool.

    Wow! I'm pretty sure that would make any upstanding Viking's heart beat fast!

    Lots of spike points on that! Careful! Nice job! If I may ask, what does the Runic inscription mean? I should think CAUTION? Cool Razor

    That may be the coolest razor I have ever seen. I don't know what else to say.

    You had me at "Viking Battle Axe Custom." WOW! I would be a tad apprehensive of shaving with that as well.
