What happens when a hipster gets hold of a nice vintage Collins axe.
What anime-feature, fantasy-movie or video-game did they tap from their very recent childhood for their attempt at participating in the hipster-craft of "modding" this nice old tool? Note hole drilled through heel of handle for a leather thong, probably to hang it on the wall of their apartment so they could point it out to others in conversations about their "hawk"....
Apparently the grooves they cut into the original handle were stress-risers and let a nice split start in one of them which traveled almost to the heel of the handle. Electrical tape was their choice to make it as good as new again..... When I get time I will try to strip the "My Little-Pony" paint from it and epoxy the handle back together, then re-set it into the head.
