Side arms such as this were usually carried by Medieval archers as a last resort for if the enemy came too close for comfort. This basic European style axe could have been used by infantry as well as cavalry. Axes like this were useful not only as weapons but for every day tasks as well. The flat back end was good for hammering in stakes that were often used in the defensive line, while blade could be used to sharpen them.

Features a tempered steel head on a good hardwood shaft.

    Light and fast in the hand, too bad handle isn’t hickory or ash… I purchased one of these about 2 years ago. This axe is very light and quick in the hand. No doubt it would be an excellent weapon, at least with a better wood used for the handle…I decided to sharpen mine and take it on a camping trip and on the first day of the four day trip the handle broke. It turns out that the handle is pinned in so I felt I had no other choice but to bury the blade in wet earth to try and protect the temper and burn the rest of the handle out. The next day I was able to pound the pin out from the inside of the shaft with a wrench and a large stone..Then I made a temporary handle out of oak that worked for the rest of the trip. When I got home I bought a hickory tomahawk handle and hammered the smaller end into the head and pinned it in place with a piece of a nail. Then I shaped the larger end with a rasp to fit my hand at the end of the handle. To be honest it was a big pain in the…. In the end though I like the look and feel of the new hickory handle much better. It’s really intended to be a weapon anyway and is a bit light for camp use but Windlass really should be using stronger wood. I would have given a lower score, but after I replaced the handle I really like it and handles on axes break. Who knows, I might have just gotten a bad handle..

    Strong, Light, Little Axe. Came well packaged and oiled for shipping. The axe was… average after the sharpening service. After a little personal sharpening, worked really well. Very sturdy and tough on the axe blade. Hacked at dead wood and some other tough objects and no chipping or damage to report. Used the hammer-like side to beat a cinder block. Scratched it up, but no denting or chipping. One of my favorite purchases overall. Handle is still in tip-top shade. Smooth, but gives enough grip. And allows a cord wrap or whatever would suit you if you’re looking for better grip. Axe head isn’t loose at all. Well recommended if you’re looking for something small and well made!

    Needs a little help Nice axe, nice lines, good weight. However, I’m not a fan of the light-weight wood they use or the way they fit their axe heads. It’s a very poor fit (which is fine if it can be corrected.) However, they drive a pin through the axe head and the haft to hold it together, so its impossible to refit the axe head without destroying the handle or somehow drilling out the pin (which risks damaging the head).

    Awesome little axe This is an awesome little axe! I didn’t expect a whole lot from this, but it is a very wicked throwing axe once sharpened. It hits HARD. Very nice piece, I would like to buy a few more for a throwing axe collection. The steel is good and can take abuse.
