Bullova Axe ?

[kronckew]

Mine has a more traditional axe shape,

these seem to be designed for maximum cutting effectiveness on un-armoured opponents, and could be used in a slicing style of attack. they are from central india and i expect the heat and humidity would make armour uncomfortable and predispose them to a more lightweight and fast combat style. the rattan shafts are light and very strong for their weight.
