Anybody familiar with Last Legend axes?

[Hoplophile]

A friend has asked me to find him one of those super huge Conan type battle axes. It needs to be bearded, single bladed, and most of all NOT A WALL HANGER. So far the Last legend Skofnung Raiding Ax, and the Starfire PAX are the top contenders, in that order. Anybody got any input of either of these companies? Anybody out there know of another, AMERICAN MADE bearded battle ax? He wants the 4 foot tall variety, not the small tomahawk style. He's just like that. He has a Paul Chen hero's ax, and is very disappointed with it. Especially when I told him it was made in China.

Gransfors Bruks has a large bearded battle axe (very limited production) designed after an historic piece from the 7-9th century, as I recall. Very nice but expensive. Call them at 843-875-0240 and ask for Bob. (Hand forged in Sweden.)

Try BudK , they've got some stuff that's not too expensive, some of their battle-axes look to be one piece steel ,double-bladed nasties.
