I've been waiting to watch this one until the time was right. Just got an order for one of these, so thanks for the tutorial. I plan on using my fancy new Frog's Head hammer on it. Thanks, Sam.
Okay, I'm inspired. This is possibly the prettiest RR spike tomahawk I've ever seen. Now I need to go heat and beat some iron! Thank you for sharing this.
I make alot of railroad spike tomahawks and because of the low carbon content, even though I've had alot of RR spikes harden enough that a file will not scratch them, I now cut the head of the spike before I begin forging and I forge weld a small peice of high carbon steel into the spike where the edge is and they have been awesome little tools even though it seems like tedious extra work
Wow you make some nice ax heads from just simple rail road spikes. Interesting to see there is enough mass to make the edge. Enjoyed watching the video.
I make them using the point end as the blade and the head of the spike becomes a small hammer I sell them as camp tomahawks the hammer is great for driving in tent stakes.
That was superb. I got a hell of a lot out of watching that. The video quality is awesome and no innane chitchat or babble! I think you should win the internet. Please keep it up! Subscribed!
A very good video. Most of the videos with music are distracting so I don't watch them, but yours was relaxing and very pleasant. great job on that Mouse Hawk too.
Excelente sin cuña el hacha no se sale mas del cabo, una consulta se podria fabricar un martillo cuyo cabo no lleve cuña? Saludos desde Tucuman-Argentina!!!
Thanks Mate, I do indeed! These are all being made for Perth Knifeshow, and if they don't sell there, will be available. Otherwise I do custom work regularly. You can contact me at samtownsbladesmith@gmail.com. thanks for watching!

Very nice Sam. I really enjoyed the video.
Boy those are just darlin little Hawks...love'm ✔️‼️& nice to see that RR spikes can be used without having to add a high carbon element to them!!
Those are beautiful

I'm so glad these both finally sold!
Me too
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Good job Sam, never thought there would be enough material in a rr spike to make a throwing axe
Cheers mate, there definitely is, they're not super heavy but they're pretty nice throwers
Nice work
really cool sam...you suprised me there...looks great....good on you dude

Cheers mate! I could have forged these a bit thinner in the end, but they do alright!
That's good to know. Bet they throw well. Good job.
They do! Cheers mate

Will a low carbon spike hold an edge without a high carbon insert forged in?
Yes it will, but not as well as a high carbon insert would, of course haha
E bonito ver o suor do trabalho e realizar a tarefa com precisão
I would like to have my own forge and forge Viking axes, that's my dream
It's not out of reach, just have to work at it, you'll get there!
just do it
Nice job here. I am curious as to why you didn't upset the spike to get more mass out of the eye and body of the blade?
You certainly can do that, and I have on more recent ones. These were some of the first of this style I had tried
Very good job. Looks great! By chance do you make these an sell them? If so id be very interested in purchasing one.
