Do you have a power hammer? I mean forging Damascus by hand
is real job and takes for ever?
Especially when making such a big blade

I thought that was more of a saxon weapon, hence the name.

Actually i believe the name saxon was derived form this weapon. Like the Franks were name after the francisca throwing axe.

great work though.

Only the blade shape is saxon. The weapon itself was used all around europe
