This massive axe head is expertly forged from high carbon steel and features a polished finish. laser cut into the center of the blade cheek is an ornate bottony cross. The 12.25-inch crescent shaped blade has a standard sharpening, and the points at each end are thick and rounded for better nick resistance and safety. Attached to the spine of the blade is a large socket piece used to attach to a wooden shaft of your choice. This replica is quite hefty, weighing in at about 3 pounds, so it is recommended to use a strong wood for the shaft. This axe head comes well oiled – and it is recommended to polish with a mineral oil from time to time to prevent rusting or corrosion.
*Please note: A mounting shaft is NOT INCLUDED, but can be purchased at most any local hardware store.
