Double edged axes are a meme unless you're cutting wood and even then they are still mostly a meme.

I just got through busting up a couple of stubborn oak rounds with mine. It isn't made for slaughtering anything but trees, but it's hand forged in Sweden. That right there is worth a point or two.

You just called a poleaxe decorative shit?
You fucking dumb shit

>>32684850
Because it's a decorative shit poleaxe. Not a battle worthy poleaxe.

How can you tell? Looks like the Museum Replicas offering to me, and they're battle ready as hell.

1 it's an accurate replica of an actual find
2 it's fairly plain by pollaxe standards
3 even the most lavishly decorated and gilded arms fit for kings were "battle worthy" if the base design is sound, you stupid cunt

Pic related - my fuck'd up attempt at a Great Moravian bearded axe when I knew pretty much shit about the whole thing, spent way more time than I care to confess and the eye/shaft hole/whatever's angle is just wrong, and it doesn't hold. It's supposed to be put on a handle like a hawk. Also, back then, I didn't know how to make hafts and so I asked my acquaintance to make one for me. That was fucked even more. Would hold for exactly one strike before falling down on your hand. Had to wrap it in rawhide. The poll is WAY too big, the blade isn't the right shape, really... grumble grumble.
I'm ashamed for this one, but hey, I still got it shaving sharp, cut down a tree, made feathersticks, diced onion and sliced carrots with it when camping, so hey, at least it worked. Untill some idiot borrowed it to split some firewood... to my horror, I heard a nasty "tink" sound and realised he was splitting on a rock and struck it. Dammit. Then, when I repaired the damage at home, my dog chewed the handle to splinters. So, gg.
>also, have some goulash

>>32693139
I fuckin' love that one. Gotta make myself one later this year.
