Great looking axe and handle. How's the edge and cheek geometry, though?

That's fantastic. Beautiful axe.
Anyone know why the toe is pointed like that instead of full like a North American broadaxe? The toe is what gets the most wear. I don't understand why it would be made so small to begin with. Also the toe is dropped back about 1/2" short of the heel already. With wear it would quickly drop back even further.
But an axe as beautiful as that would likely never get used anyway.

I'll be having John make me an American scythe blade at some point in the near future. It'll be in L6!

I did not realize John had parted ways with the company which carries his name. I may have to consider canceling my order with John Neeman and putting it in under his new company Autine.
Autine is not a side project of NeemanTools. Autine is Johns Neeman new company which is entirely diferent project. Here is what John says about it himself:http://autinetools.com/en/articles/John-Neeman-leaving-Neemantools

Um on the website the personwho started neeman tools said there is no john neeman and that it was a combination of a few names since its a crew of craftsmen
John Neeman is the english transliteration of Janis Nimanis (sp?), which is the name of the smith who now runs the Autine shop. HOWEVER, nobody copyrighted that name, so John Neeman Tools is free to continue using it. Jakob (guy who runs JNT) and Janis used the transliteration to appeal to western buyers when they started up, but when they parted ways, both parties decided to continue using the name to a certain extent. Truth is, nobody is John Neeman. Dude doesn't exist. Lesson here: Branding is important, and so is copyrighting!
