Very nice indeed. They look quite heavy axe blades for a type. I have to join the party with this old one. I have shown it a few times but have not mentioned that it is 40cm long from tip to tip. It has a thick midrib but is over-wise a relatively light weapon made to slash more than chop. The edge is rather ragged and sharp.



I think these axes are a very good use of limited supplies and forging techniques.
