  Bryce, I'm going to make one with a lawnmower blade, I think.  No axe heads to spare!    Looks cool, and I lost my best machete so my hands get tired.

You could cut a space under the blade and fill it with lead to give you a little extra oomph.

Im making a smaller one using a hand Planer blade. With some heavier wood; ocean spray and and maybe Oregon white oak. If that one doesn’t turn out.

Let me know how it turns out when you’re done.

do you think using a cut-down chisel blade might work?

  I also have a blade from one of those sharp floor scrapers.  I wonder if the steel is good enough.

I don’t see why not as long as it has a good amount of wait behind it
