This beautifully handcrafted axe measures a full 12 inches. The shaft is made from sheesham that has been stained with an oak finish enhancing the wood grain. The double bit blade is hand forged from carbon steel. A brown leather wrap gives a grip on the handle and crisscrosses up the blade. The overall effect gives this piece a Native American feel. Sharpen the blade for an awesome throwing knife or hand it on the wall as a lovely collectible.
