A&A Hungarian Axe
« on: 2011-05-30, 15:29:04 »
I am soon to be a proud owner of one of these pretties!  ;D



A friend of Sir Edward's is selling his for $100 which is an excellent price for one of these lovely axes!
I've wanted one since Sir Edward purchased his back in 2009. Thanks again Sir Edward for thinking of me
when you found out your friend was selling his!

I intend use it as a 'Walking Stick' while wearing my harness!  ;D

That is just an ugly nasty looking axe. No wonder it has the scary rep that it does.

Excellent buy man!

I noticed a curious thing the other day when I was cleaning the head of my new A&A Hungarian Axe.
The head isn't in line with the haft. It can clearly be seen in the pictures. It's definitely skewed to the right.
Is that typical or just a poorly hafted axe? Does yours do the same Sir Edward?  ???

I just took a look, and mine looks pretty straight. Of course, mine might have straightened itself a little too, since the head is pushed down a good quarter-inch further than where it was originally hafted, from thrusting at solid targets at WMAW. :)

I'm a little surprised that yours isn't straight, actually. Since the haft goes all the way through the head, I suppose either the haft might have a bend at that point, or the head was bored out at an angle?

Still love that ax...I'd be more than willing to purchase it from you should you decide you do not want it.  :)

Thanks for the kind offer Sir William but it doesn't bother me that much! Just a curious thing seeing the edge so askew from
the center line of the shaft.  ;)

Get a few large melons, set them up on various fence posts and have some fun- I doubt you'll even notice it with all that head-splitting goodness going on!  ;)

Just be sure to wipe her down after each series of cuts and oil immediately after cleaning...the acidity of some fruits can wreak havoc on good steel.

That just means it's right handed and was a fitting purchase. :D
