Hi Dave. I do not wish to look as an advertiser here, we are just a small crew of craftsmen. We make woodworking hand tools. Soon there will be our website up. The particular goosewing we have sold for $350.

Let us know when your website is up! I'm very impressed with the axes you have shown on here and the Forestry Forum.

Ok, I will post a thread when our web will be up, if moderators will allow me. We are making also heavy duty timber framing chisels and slicks with hardness of HRC 64-65.

Don, I'd love to see more of this. I've often wanted to dabble in the art of axe making some time.

How will you sharpen the chisels at 65 rockwell? I would also be worried about brittleness.

The hardness is about 63-64 HRC. It is what 9260 steel reaches after hardening, tempering and annealing. There are many carpenters tested them and feedback is good. Of course hard to sharpen on regular stones, but diamond stones can do the job.

Thanks Don very much. I found them in your album and downloaded all of them in higher resolution than here in the forum.

Most of the Japanese chisels also do have hardness of HRC 63-65
