This isnt an axe but.....

The thing is, that pilums were originally designed to break/bend when thrown at the enemy, so that the enemy couldn't throw it back at the Roman soldiers. So if you throw one, you need to buy another one? :D

Well the Romans also probably used plain iron, which is very ductile (deform without fracture) compared to the hardened 1055 steel used in this bad boy. My guess is the spear is just a pillum styled spear, not actually meant to be historically accurate. Cool anyways though :cool:
 
I like that gladius machete that they came out with, might be a good companion for your pilum spear in case the zombies ever do come.
