Soviet axe head, surplus

Do you like chopping wood but are not into modern axes? Instead, you prefer something from the era when axes were still like MEN: big, clumsy, and stupid. Get this DIY Soviet axe with an ergonomic handle solution. Find a log, carve yourself a handle. it'll fit if you don't screw up the measurements.

Now this is a proper axe blade

Even the best pictures don't do justice to this beauty. The blade is about as crooked as the politicians' promises. You can't get this kind of quality even from China. These kinds of axes were used for butchering in Finland in the old times. So, if you need to chop some deer spines, that'll fix that, too.

Made of massive steel. It probably doesn't matter with which part of the axe you hit the log, the result is the same. There's a small notch on the base of the blade that is meant to prevent shaft damage.

Weight about 500 grams. Height 15 cm, length 17 cm. Probably sharpened with a stone axe so you might want to sharpen it a bit more.

Genuine old army surplus

This is ´good old Soviet military surplus. Overall in very good condition, these haven't been used much. They have been stored in proper cosmoline grease, which you can see in the pics. (The gooey yuck in there.) The availability is very limited, we only got this one batch. So, if you don't buy it now, you really won't buy it. Period.
