Logan Roseberry, La Harpe, Kansas, and Michael Paddock, Clinton, Missouri, pose with their nationally award-winning Viking ax in the Department of Engineering Technology at Pittsburg State University. The two won “Most Captivating Design” in the recent national Cast in Steel competition against 15 other universities and 20 Viking axes. That double-headed design included the classic feature design of a Viking ax and included the splitface Gorilla and the event sponsor’s logo on the handle. As students of University Professor Russ Rosmait and Professor Jacob Lehman in Manufacturing Engineering Technology, they began their ax complex project in November.
