"Fort Meigs" axe

[Matt.S]

Thought I would share with you all the so-called Fort Meigs axe -- basically a double-bit belt-axe commonly available from US re-enactor suppliers for not much coin (example here: , http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370164470718&rvr_id=&mfe=sidebar no connection etc.) There is a mini-review here: http://www.ramanon.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31247

Looks pretty tempting for those of us with a hankering for a Nessmuk, but too little money to have one made...

Thoughts?

The Ft Meigs is a very light
single bit axe with a flat "hammerpoll' at the rear. It is more commonally called a Kentucky belt axe these days.
