To Arms! To Battle!!! This is a custom made hand axe. Like all our products, it is solidly built and will hold up under much play and abuse. It has a timeless look, fitting in nicely to medieval, Viking, western, or whatever other themes your child can come up with!!! It measures 17" from top to bottom, with an 8" blade. The blade and spike are pine, and the handle is stained fir. This makes an awesome Cosplay axe as well, fitting nicely into a big kids warrior ensemble! If you like the look, but would prefer something unique and custom made, please let us know!!!! We love doing custom orders!!!
