I just watched that entire thing because I like axes but that "battleaxe" is mall ninja quality.

You can argue about the historical reproduction quality, but the fact that it didn't break on the first use shows its better than mall ninja quality.

Your opinion on this bad boy?

The price is outrageous and the steel is hard but may be a little brittle for constant real battle as a full tang but damn it's probably the nicest one I've een yet.

Most of the quality bearded Norse style axes you'll find are in $300+ range.

The guys at Zombie Tools charge more because all of their items are forged from one solid hunk of steel and full tang. Also their demand is high so they had to raise their prices a bit as well.

I'll be buying a few of their items.

This Swed makes some great stuff as well, but its first come first serve. Check out his prices.

You think we can combine todays knowledge with the past? They swung axes around since childhood. Every fucking day, when older they honed that skill to kill. It was a reality, not this. Back then with the power of the ancient steel, like damascus steel, in a skilled hand, could probably swing through a tree, without stopping. Split stone even. Just like in "blade of demon destruction"
