I've seen a post on peoples favorite knives, but I'm interested to see every ones favorite axes. so yeah, the idea is to post a pic or a few and maybe say why you love it . I'm becoming fascinated with good blades! =D when i finally get hold of my first, I'll be sure to post some pics too.
thanks,
bandit

G-day Bandit!
Did ya finds an axe thats suits you yet?

My fav axe is the sailors axe a replica of a 17th century sailors axe.
it's got a long thin head and is a bit wider at the blade and a oak handel
bound in leather at the base of the handel.
Lack of a digital camera and/or a scanner dosent allow me to post a pic

see ya
