Mendi fighting axe

My new toy with serious business end, yet to arrive. I think you can get some idea that it has quite a heavy blade from the picture that shows just a glimpse of one side. What interested me most was the nice subtle rounded finish to the grinding of the blade- best seen in the right hand face of the blade. For some reason the left hand face does not show this so well although still noticable. The basic measurements are 22" x 22" which is a few inches smaller than a fancy and purely ceremonial axe I have already. So I am looking forward to viewing the two together.
