Description of the Product
With a long history of use, the pole axe was very popular in the lists, with the winner being decided by the number of blows fairly struck. It was also quite popular for use on the field of battle. With a good sharp point it could be used as a short spear, the back or spike could be used to pierce armor or to topple a horseman, and the axe head itself was quite lethal. The poleaxe was originally called a poll axe, as it was mainly used to aim for the opponents head. Superb copy of a magnificent example of a pole arm, with a high carbon blade and languets to protect the shaft made of hardwood. Original in a private collection.

Nyt on karu vehje! Varsi on kuin veneen airo, kapistuksella on painoa ja jämäkkyyttä ihan omiksi tarpeiksi. Siistit viimeistelyt, pieniä jälkiä siellä täällä mutta ei silmiinpistävästi. Lyönti/leikkaus treenejä ei tällä vielä ole kokeiltu mutta tarkoitus on vielä teroittaa kirvesosa ja päätyterä. Korpinnokka on sinänsä jo valmis piikki, toki sitä voi teroittaa myös. Oman versioni antikoin eli sinensin metallit ja käsittelin varren tummemmaksi. Alkuperäinen ulkoasu mielestäni liian kliininen.
Kokonaisuus oikein hyvä, pieni miinus bulkkimaisuudesta, erityisesti tuo paksu kulmikas varsi (toki tämä subjektiivinen näkemys) hieman tökki. Historiallisesta tarkkuudesta en ole ihan varma kun en ole mistään lähteestä aivan samannäköistä kapistusta onnistunut löytämään mutta näitähän toki on monenlaisia versioita.
