Traditional Basque Axe

[suiseki]

Hi, this is the axe that I use for work (cut trees and wood, because Im gardener). It´s a traditional Basque Axe maded by a artisan master called Jauregui in his workshop of Hernani.

Sorry for my bad english, Im Spanish.

Welcome to the forums!!

That is a nice looking axe. Traditional construction produces a fine cutting implement. Miles ahead of the hardware store stuff.

especially the Trailing Handle - that has a lot of physics advantages.

Yeah it's pretty cool. I was thinking they did that to give the axe a better balance without having to put extra metal on the back of the head.

Could we get dimensions on it? Length, weight, etc.

Translation... Dang Metric system.

I HATE metric myself.

1.9 kg is 4.18878298 pounds. 1 kg is 2.2 pounds
12cm edge is about 4 3/4 inches
1.5cm thick is 5/8th of an inch which sounds wrong to me.
1cm is 3/8th of an inch.

As a heads up I've been in the process for some months now trying to open up distribution for those axes. Probably still going to be a while before they're available, there will eventually be a US source for them.

 

[DarthTaco123]

I recently inquired on an axe-oriented facebook group and there was a gentleman there who said that either he or an associate of his had something in the works as well.

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

That was me.

 

[DarthTaco123]

Well that clarifies a lot then!
