Casey, does your axe have a reinforced (compare shandigan) edge? Does the blade get thinner and thinner toward the cutting edge, but then get thicker right at the top of the bevel? Something I've seen before, and can't decide if I see it here or not......

Tom, mine has what your describing. On both my Kalinga datu and "regular" axe heads. Only the points and back spikes are reinforced (get the points?

Got to be sharp

).

Cool! Are the back spikes sharp on yours? Those I've seen in person were not sharp, but had a kind of flat squared off end?
