Shepard's Axe

I like it, now you just need a leather sheathe for the blade, that is also comfortable as a hiking stick handle

I had never heard of this particular ax, and had to google to find out its origin. Wonderful small ax, hiking
staff, and possible weapon. Yours should serve you for many years with that hornbeam handle. Thank you
for sharing.

that is nice! have you downed any trees or cut any wood with it yet? how does the swing feel ?

Thanks for the comments. To answer Steve, I am using at a show piece rather than for any wood cutting even though it is most definately up to the task.
