I am intrested in the pole axe head (maybe 2...) and a pair of bearded axe heads for hand axes (a lot like this picture: http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/XH2043N.jpg)

Ok here is the deal.

To make this profitable for the plant I have to have an order of at least ten pieces before they will cut them for me.

So I need ten orders or one order of ten or any iteration. If I get like six Ill buy the other four to sell at events.

As for special orders I will cut those myself and call them market samples.

For a bulk order we will start off with the head I have tested as seen below (I do have other shapes in development)

Remember this will need to be supported by leather or some other material to make it SCA usable and it needs clackers or a few layers of leather. You are buying a form only basically to base your polearm on. These are fully usable as boffers with just duct tape added.


my pay pal is gideonwoulfe@yahoo.com each head is 10 dollars plus 4 dollars shipping in the continental US. For orders of more than one add 1 dollar for each additional piece.

If you have a custom order for a crest contact me on IM or email. Ill respond soon. I you want a custom weapon head I am working on each type asked about here on the board be patient. The falcata and the chjopper are being looked at other axe heads are being made. I need to test them next week I am worried that the wing of the ax may not take much punishment.

Any ideas on shipping to the UK?

Tomorrow I will be cutting out several new examples and running a group of 10 pieces or more of the pole-arm head I have tested.


If you are interested contact me.

I'm from Trimaris and I have to ask, what are the posibilities of a "Trident" head for SCA combat? Something along the lines of Poseidon's preferably....

Honestly, I could make a trident head but it isn't going to last more than a fight or two. Even with leather as a stiffening agent the padded sections need a rattan backing or core.
