Rinaldi "Milano" Axe--"Grade B"

A brilliantly designed large hatchet or small hand axe, the bit is shaped thin for the first 1 and 1/2" for powerful chopping before smoothly flaring into a strong splitting thickness. A broad bit for its weight, the fairly straight edge and large striking surface makes wood shaping tasks a snap! The eye is tapered and the handle slipped through the top like the handle of a tomahawk or pickaxe, making it easy to fashion a new one in the event of breakage. 600g head.

The only thing wrong with this example is a cosmetic blemish along the top of the eye on one side where the metal failed to flow in a manner that fully filled the forging die. Only a very slight dip, and without any impact on performance.

If selecting the Special Grade option we will thin and refine the factory edge.
