OK, I don't get it.
I've been drawing up some idea for a custom axe I want made, went through many revisions and such. When I finally come up with the next one I'd like, I find a nearly identical one on the web.

It's a short Viking axe made by Paul Chen for CAS Hanwei.

I still don't know why I want it so bad. I mean yes, there's my Norse heritage, but I haven't seen many good villages to raid lately or anything.

But. . .
 
We all have things we don't really need per se... but so what? They give us enjoyment ;-)
 
Take up LARPing?

I say buy it, even if just owning it brings you pleasure that is reason enough.
 
I had to chop wood to stay warm...now that I pay a bill to stay warm. Even if I have no money I still have an axe to keep things warm, it's just a Gransfors 2-lugged now :D
 
I've seen plenty of villages I'd like to pillage but that sort of thing is frowned on by the authorities. :mad:
 
Because it looks good, is supposed to be of reasonable quality and mostly 'cause it will add another piece to your edgeware collection. ;)
 
Well do ya have one?
Well... NO

Did the Viking have an England?

Well, .. .. No, not till they got one.

And you secretly long for some dumb*ass burglar to come into your house so you can just get one good swing in and try to knock it out of the park,,,or living room.
 
I've got one: the edge doesn't hold up well to a little wood chopping. Would be fine for splitting skulls.

Really? Damn. What happened to the edge? Is it too soft and rolls, too hard and chips, or just a little too soft and dulls quickly?
 
The battle axe I have in mind is when the new CS Spike Hawk comes out and I re-haft it with a proper 30" handle.

:cool:
