Wow, very cool!
I'm on a facebook group for buying/selling old tools. This came up the other day. I have no need for it, but I had to have it. The blade is a bit over 13.5".
It arrived today. Bring on the zombies!
And just FYI, this is a broadhead axe. It's only beveled on one side. It's designed to take a large rough beam and shape and smooth it.
Broadaxes were commonly used in manufacture of square timbers for wooden shipbuilding, log building, timber framing, and railroad ties sometimes called axe ties.
