I guess I should have been more clear- these are't pre-made items. These are things that will be made to order, to the customer's specifications. I don't have these in stock right at the moment.

Sorry if I wasn't clear!

15 minutes left- still time to get a bid in...

And Gunther posts while I was typing!

Will someone go $35?

Thorgrimr

I'll honor my own terms- if no one else bids it's yours for $25 at noon EST tomorrow.

Thorgrimr

Is this really only worth $25? Christmas is coming folks- surely you know someone who'd like this...

Thorgrimr

No one? Really?

Thorgrimr

Let's make this an auction. It'll run until Monday at noon EST, or until I get a bid I'm happy with, whichever comes first. Buyer pays shipping.

Who'll give me an opening bid?

What Vitus said. I think it's possible to build an axe like that. You'd have to accept some trade-offs, though. The back of the eye would be about 3/4 of an inch thick, in order to allow 1/2 inch of progressive give. I've been thinking lately about how to incorporate a thrusting tip into the blade, ...

Thorgrimr

You bet. measurementwise, I need the head circumference at the browline and the distance from one earhole across the top of the head to the other.

Thorgrimr

Sure do. I did this one today...

Like the title says, here's a brown leather 4 panel hat with grey wool trim. Every single stitch was done by hand with linen thread (what a pain in the butt!). It's a little snug on my 24" head, and a little loose on my daughter's 22" head. http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/ga...

Sold pending funds.

Jotun-A: You can't have 'em ALL, man!

Here's another axe- a single handed axe (32" from butt to blade tip). The head is made from glued and sewn leather, and is sewn to the shaved and stained rattan haft. [img]http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/SCA%20weapons/sh%20dane.jpg[/img] $40 plus shipping. As always, I gladly tak...

Gotta sell this- $40 plus shipping...

Here's an SCA legal bearded style belt axe. It's the perfect back up weapon for the early period persona- it hits with great authority. The head is made from stacked gluede and sewn leather with a padded striking edge, and is sewn to the stained rattan haft. it's overall length is 22" http://ho...

BOTH SOLD

Thanks!

[quote="Hrolfr"]Thorgrimr, the throwing legal thrusties are different from the non-throwing legal thrusties? Just wondering

[quote]

By my reading of these passages- yes. The foam on the butt end of whack and throw axes must be 2" in diameter and 2" deep.

Thorgrimr

Usually, yes. However, this rattan came to me a bit over 1.25 inches, so I didn't want to shave the handle. If it were my personal weaon I'd shave it and then wrap it with leather to bring the dimensions back to "spec". I could do that for a few bucks if the buyer wishes...

Thorgrimr

I dont think I could resist throwing that at somebody... Here's the relevent section of the Society Marshal's Handbook for those who are interested (bolding mine): E. Throwing Weapons - These weapons may be used for striking and may also be thrown in melee scenarios where thrown weapons are allowed...

Thorgrimr

I still have one of these left...

Thorgrimr

Put some foam on the butt end and you CAN have a whack-n-throw axe. These things throw VERY well, too.

Thorgrimr

Go ahead- I'll ship it with your hat...

Thorgrimr

Not that- what I meant was that I'm planning to make one of these myself- you just beat me to it! Someone SHOULD buy this though- they're great fun to fight with- though I never used one with a shield. I just use it as a polearm. They fight alot like a poleaxe (as a matter of fact when I switched ba...
