Produced by ΛdiThiel – the ArchaeoSmith

***

 

I am Adam Thiele, Ph.D, materials scientist, engineer and smith. I use ΛdiThiel as a brand name for my products. The name the ArchaeoSmith explains my main activity.
This D-type Viking axe has a body of C10 steel and a cutting edge of damascus steel forge welded into the body. It was made based on archaeological findings and it has a hardened, durable cutting edge. The axe head was forged on the old medieval way of forge welding and U shape bended flat bar, as you can see the main technological steps in the last picture.

Properties
As all of my products are unique and handmade ca. 5% difference is possible in size and weight. Also the pattern can be slightly different in case of damascus steel items.
