Interesting axe design.
On a related matter, I saw the axe below in a Manila antique shop. Would anybody recognize this shape and as to where this may have come from?
To me the axe below is like those Crocs sandals -- "It's so ugly it's cute."
Hope somebody can comment on the pic below. Thanks in advance!
Note: It's the lighting and the mode of the camera that made everything appear yellowish. In reality, the wooden handle is really wooden in color, and the metal axe-head is dark colored as it is covered all over with inactive rust.
