Not your average Viking battle ax

  1. Yea, but this Ax has never seen even a speck of dirt, wood, outdoors other than this "Posed Camera Shot". Kind of like the Pretty girls with a Cowboy Hat...

    1. You are such a downer. Panned the ax and pretty girls at the same time. Genius! When you decide to draft a comment like that, do you ever consider how it will make you look to everyone else. Maybe start.

  2. I have a collection of hatchets/axes that have handles from oak branches that have fallen from the Oak trees planted - with a plaque at the base of each - for each person who died in WW1 in our county. Two women are on the list. We take care of the grove. Some handles make them cool. The trees were planted in 1923 as 10 year old saplings. I'll find a pic - this photo reminds me of all of that.

  5. Beautiful Damascus steel axe head on a nice curly ash handle. Excellent example of fine craftsmanship and an eye for harmonious design.
