Throwing Axes, now with masks!

Post by hivemind »

I heard the SCA does some throwing axe competitions, so I got my old Ragnar's Ragweed Forge franciscas out, gave them a quick polish on the buffer, and made masks for them:

Thanks! I have a third one somewhere, but it needs a new handle. Looks like Ragnar's still in business, I need to order one from him...

Very nice. I've often thought that the francisca would be an excellent zombie gacker.

These bastards are sharp, too. They are certainly worthy of respect. I imagine having one of these thrown at you would be... uncomfortable.

.... they're terrible throwing weapons. They're too pretty. I would never want to throw away anything so nice-looking. ;)
Good. Fast. Cheap. Pick two.
