I agree that its probably a distortion, but its just irritating the work that I put in to fix it for nothing.

Save it as a PNG file or BMP file instead of JPEG / JPG and it should take care of that. PNG will be a smaller file size and is a more modern format.

The "Knight Pages" also automatically resize the image. If you upload a small image, it'll stretch it.

I took the original image and saved it in multiple formats and resaved and whatnot, but no change so I am just going to have to deal with it for now til I redo the whole thing. The image size is fine so not a stretching issue.

OK, here we go!

I have put together my Blazon, but I am not 100% sure that it is acurate.

Per bend sinister gules and argent, on a bend sinister sable between a stag trippant argent fimbriated sable and a battle axe bendwise sinister gules and argent fimbriated sable, three trefoils or.

The part that I am unsure of the most is for the axe, do you state the color of the blade or the handle first?

That's a good question, I'm not sure. But that only comes up if you colorize the the parts separately anyway. If the entire thing is argent, then you would just call it an "axe argent".

I suppose one option could be something like "an axe argent hafted gules" if you wanted a red handle, for instance.

That's exactly what I am trying to do, just wasnt sure how to word it.

So then:

Per bend sinister gules and argent, on a bend sinister sable between a stag trippant argent fimbriated sable and a battleaxe bendwise sinister argent hafted gules fimbriated sable, three trefoils or.

I think you could just say an "axe proper" unless it is colored different from it's normal colors?
