Product Video - Lightweight Battle Axe or Fine Crafting Axe
The axe has been used throughout history as a tool. Because of its versitility, it was also used as weapon. Almost every household had and axe and in times of war or in an emergeny it used be used to deadly effect by almost anybody - trained or not.
This particular axe is dual purpose. It can be used either as tool or as a weapon. As a crafting tool it is ideal for fine wood work - detailing or smothing off rough cuts. As a weapon the short head can deliver short but deep cuts. .
The head is hand forged in EN45 spring steel and the axe comes with a protective leather blade cover. The handle is made from teak (a tropical hardwood) and the head is firmly attached to the handle by friction but you can drill a hole through the head into the handle to add a nail if you wish.
The edge is semi-sharp - it can be filed down for re-enactment combat or sharpened to demonstrate cutting power. The points may need to be rounded off depending on the rules of whatever combat style you are engaging in.
