I finally got my Arms & Armor Hungarian Axe and it's a keeper. It's a little smaller than I expected, but very well balanced an fast for an axe. It's a very well done replica of a 16th century battle axe. Overall length: 51"; Blade: 10" x 6.5" and notice that the handle is not round, it's oval so you can index the blade without looking at it.

Wow that is one of the coolest looking tools I have seen in quite a while. Congrats. Do you know what kind of steel it is?

I'm not sure exactly. The head is fairly soft steel, but they welded a high carbon edge onto it and hardened it.

This appears to be ideal for repelling borders.

I'm more impressed with Ted's photography! but it is a shweet looking axe!

That looks like something Arnold would have used in a movie

Sweet pictures...as always <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks guys.

That looks like a medieval english or euro axe. The high carbon edge on a low carbon or iron body is the way they made them as well. It looks awesome and I love the photo but the background is the wrong culture. You need a stone wall or a suit of armour.

I have a stone wall across the street, but the neighbors wouldn't appreciate me running around with the axe. I should have taken it against the ivy a water buffalo skulls on the fence.

Very cool looking axe Ted. I really like the shape of the axe head.

Very nice pictures and great looking axe!

Your pictures rock! Oh yea cool axe too. The handle looks like Hickory, good strong stuff.
