Zai Core Axe

[Jbmass]

Has anyone ever heard of/held one before? Certainly a cool design, but I have my doubts to it's durability.

Looks alot like Helko's Vario 2000 line of axes.

I'd love to hold one but just from eyeballin' it I have doubts about the balance. My recent experiments with my hollow axe have also brought to my attention how much of the "feel" of the axe comes from the resonance when it strikes and I'm thinking that this muti-part modular design would have a "wierd" resonance.
