Selling a custom-made axe from European axe-maker and swordsmith, Peter Szabo. The axe was purchased about five years ago and has never been used as anything other than wall-mounted decoration, therefore it is still in great condition.
Specifications
Length - 45 cm
Length of head - ca. 14.5 cm
Weight - ca. 700 g
The axe wasn't made specifically for me but it was a unique one-of-a-kind axe made by Peter Szabo which I couldn't resist purchasing, mainly because of the beautiful engraving of a bear's paw on the antiqued head. Directly below the head, the haft is wrapped in leather.
The axe has two minor issues - firstly, the handle is round, which makes edge alignment slightly more difficult. This isn't as much of an issue in axes as it is with swords, because the weight of the head is already balanced to one side, but it is worth noting nonetheless. The second is that the axe head has some very slight looseness. It is very well secured by multiple metal shanks driven into the haft, so there is absolutely no chance of the axehead slipping off. A soak in water would get rid of this issue entirely or simply a few light hits on the head to secure it.
The axe was not cheap, being a custom-made high-quality piece by a skilled craftsman. I payed 250€ for the axe when it was new.
I am asking150 100€ for this axe.
Unfortunately, I am only able to ship to European addresses with GLS, as I am located in Slovenia. Shipping costs might differ slightly based on country but generally they are between 30-40€. If you are interested in purchasing, let me know and I will check the shipping cost to your address.
