With your 'axe-kus' 
I'm plumping for India/Ceylon. The size and the spike just look too much like an ankus for me to think of anything else.
How's things with you? Good start to the year?

Things are well on my end, I suppose.
I finally got around to opening my shop in November 2011, and this has been both good and bad from a collecting point of view - unlike before, where I was spending a considerable amount of free time hunting for items, I no longer have that luxury and have to wait to see what comes walking through the door.
But on the other hand, a
lot of cool stuff comes walking through that door! It's just that relatively little of it is sharp or pointy.
Interesting thoughts regarding this Odd Axe Out... I've never seen a axe-bladed ankus myself. Is such an animal known to exist?
The axe blade is integral to the shaft, FWIW...
Cheers,
Chris
