Jiří Javůrek Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) Excellent work, bravo! Here's some artifacts of the slavic type for comparison: I can say that all three types were made by hammer forging only this one without hammered.

Jiří Javůrek Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Jiri, That is some fantastic work, I like your style. Everything you presented looks like it could go straight onto a battlefield at sunrise. Are there many people making similar war axes and tomahawks in your area? Do you have many collectors or historical reenactors as customers? Just wondering what the scene is for this kind of work in CR. I don´t know if someone in my neareast area producing aimilar axes. In our country i quite gib amount gunsmiths producing the guns for historical fencing groups. But mostly is is produced by welder and grinding machine instead of production by one piece of material and decoction in fire. May be in our republic will be someone how made the guns by this old technique. Customer or colector of my work I have no one. The most of my work what is here I made for fencing groups and tomahawks are for the people who interested in Indian. Also I´m producing the axes for day life. The market situation is not good. I produce these things for my pleasure. I live off by another wrought things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Salvati Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 LOVE LOVE LOVE the "safety pins" Jiri, very neat! Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Lonnee Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Welcome to the forum and WOW!!!!!!!Amazing work. I keep going over them and seeing more and more detail and skill level. I have no words bro, just..... Wow. The spiky axe as you call it and the knife in post 66 really did it for me. I could see both swinging from the belt as you go to the bush. Your skill and craftmanship are at a level that one can only dream of and strive to achieve. Well done Sir.Have a good one bud........ Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
