AWESOME!!!!!! Man John does beautiful work! Those are beautiful KT!

Is that an axe type head on that walking stick or something else? In the epic it is a touch dark in that area and I can't tell for sure KT!

I read an article once-upon-a-time, about a central European concept of a hiking stick with a light utility axe head.  Great for mountain walking, camping, and defense.

Thanks for the comments all! Sir Charles, you are correct! This stick is based on the European fokos,whick as you said was a walking or hiking stick with an axe head on the end.
KT, glad you are enjoying the items I am crafting for you. Nothing better than a satisfied client!

Here's an interesting one;

Apparently Hungary banned steel headed Fokos about 1920, so they were quickly replaced by brass.
