Just looked on ebay & found new double axes on there for less than £16 !, anyone got one ?, i'm thinking it might be worth it for the hickory handle alone.

This one?

Not sure i'd trust it and their command of the English language in the questions section leads me to believe they aren't from the UK.

For the price of five pints its worth buying if your an axe user.

I was just thinking about this thread again and wondered what it turned out like?

I forgot about this
a quick review

Arrived with no problem
Obviously needs sharpening on arrival so out with the files and stones straight away tidied up the handle and gave it a couple of applications of BLO
This is fairly unsurprisingly a big heavy axe
I did take it to a meet near Dartmoor where we used it for chopping felled wood over the weekend a task it carried out with no significant problems
I will rarely be taking this axe anywhere as its too big and heavy for that but it will be used for chopping wood at home as the summer draws to a close
I noticed the price went up rather quickly
At the price I paid I would highly recommend this axe if you have a wood fire at home or a permanent site in the woods
Personally my double bit axe itch has been scratched and that is pleasing
