I think this is just an amazing use of these materials, iron was easier to work with and cheaper, but not as strong. Steel was more expensive and a bit more difficult, but much stronger. Making the majority of it with the cheaper easier material, and focusing the expensive stronger material where it matter. Just absolutely beautiful ingenuity

Is it also because iron is softer than steel so it can absorb vibration better?

One could make an argument for that. Iton is also easier to forge

I would rather drift the eye in iron than in steel. 😁👍

High carbon steel is more difficult to process and is also more brittle. I don't know if the price argument is the right one...

I dont believe I said ”the only reason”. What you said is correct and from I have learned from studying the old blacksmiths here in Sweden, quality steel was more expensive than iron. But you are right, I should probably have mentioned more reasons

A question Sir: what is the white powder you pour onto the welding parts? Flux or something? When did it get invented? Great videos by the way, thank you

Flux has been used since the dawn of forge welds. Obviously not the borax sollution we use today, but in forms of really fine sands etc

@nilsogren thank you for your fast answer. I had no idea sand was used to help forge welding

@gussie88bunny anything that can block air away and stick in place can do the job, fine sand is probably the easiest effective option in most places

Even if price wasn't a concern, there are advantages to having the rest of the ax head relatively softer than the cutting edge.
