Weapons

Antler Handled Knife

I refitted a modern blade with a new antler handle.  The tang extends about 3/4 of the way into the handle and is held in place by two brass rivets.  This is the second knife that I have retrofitted in this manner.

Pollaxe Head

This aluminum Pollaxe was really the result of the collaberation of a number of people.  I first hand my father sand mold and cast the axe and spike.  A friend of a friend then welded the two pieces togther and added the sleeve for the shaft.  I cleaned up all the welding and sanded the finished axe head.  I then fitted the head to a 6' hickory pole (made by another friend) and added steel langettes using brass hardware.  The end result was a nice replica pollaxe suitable demonstation and training.

Buckler

Not really a weapon, however I was not sure were to place this item.  Its made with a wooden rim covered in leather.  The center boss is made with two steel dishes overlapped for extra strength.  I can not take credit for the idea (which I ran across on the ArmourArchive) of using cheap dollar-store bowls but it works great.
