Bushcrafting Axe (handy Axe)

I made this by taking an old craftsman axe head and re-profiling it to be smaller and more handy. I removed material from the top and bottom of the head as well as narrowing the bevel. I then polished her and blued her. I cut a new axe handle down to just over 18". It looks actually medieval but I had bushcraft in mind. Its razor sharp! Ill be making a leather head cover with a belt loop attachment soon. This is the perfect size axe for traveling in the back country for small jobs like collecting firewood or shelter building. With the axe and my SRK knife, I can do pretty well.
