In a long forgotten time, when the opportunity to see another day depended only on mere, illusive luck and the strength which your arms possessed, man invented tools to aid him and add to its chance of survival. First of many, arose the mighty axe! A pledge to creativity, an unshakable column of will to live and a humble device which allowed to reshape the face of the world.
The early, almost unrecognizable gadgets were concocted of plain stones and twigs, but these faithful companions accompanied our ancestors for millions of years in their never ending journey on the road to become more.
The neolithic finally produced the well known shape, but we had to wait a further 10.000 years, with a little bronze age detour, to deliver my favorite material "en masse" to make a change.
Thus the steel axe arrived!
The head is 17.5 cm long, the edge is 12.8 cm long and it weights 755 grams.
Happy Christmas, Yule or whatever you hold!
