@savage: what do you mean by cutting? Chopping? This is not a chopping axe as its blade it thin. Most probably the thin edge and high hardness make it probe to chipping. It especially applies to dry and hard wood as it is unforgiving to the edge.
Very beautiful design. Hopefully you or the future owners get great use out of it for many years to come. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.
Nice work, nice working place and a beautiful axe but is it possible in one of your next video's to show us how you use the things that you make....your video's will be a bit longer and then you show us how that you work with your own materials. My respect and greetings from Belgium, Oli
@Nils, I enjoy your builds more than any other smith currently producing content on UA-cam! Your mastery of forging so many differing varieties of one of man's oldest tools is impressive! I was rather disappointed though, I'd hoped you'd take this new one and make some test cuts, having never seen a "mortise axe." Anyhow, thanks for the build & I'll look forward to what's next!

I feel ya! It would have been a really good vomplimemt to this video to have an actual timberman use it. Thanks for your feedback! I really apriciate it/Nils
Love your craftsmanship always. Your volume of shop noise, Well I have my own noise in my shop and garden. I'm afraid to turn down volume for fear of you saying instructions. But understand I'm going to watch your teaching anyway Sir Thanks
Very interesting design, hasn't seen one of these yet. Thank you for sharing. I haven't seen dark linseed oil before, so you buy it that way or is there something you do to it to make it dark?

I mix regular linseed oil with a pigment, ask a color stor to help you if you are interested
Very professionally made, looks great 👍. You are certainly getting more proficient and skilful at making these beautiful axes. How is your young family progressing? All are well I hope . Regards from Down Under.

My son and wife are doing very well. My wife even started takibg care of some of my administrative buissness, very nice. Hope all is well with you to!
Sir I love your videos and teaching what I said about your volume I truly said to help you know to me it's inconvenience but your volume isn't going run me away Buddy Thanks
I'm surprised that in your neck of the woods you don't use pine tar for wood and iron. As much as everyone talks about linseed oil for wood, I've never much cared for it. Pine Tar has a better look and feel, imo, and is a tradition going back eons. More importantly, it has natural anti-microbial jive going on in it and does great at preserving the wood from boring bugs.
Very nice design, and. manufacture, love it, thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
This will also be awesome for cutting dead and dry hardwood
