nice axe

[BeardyMan]

Have a BSS hidden away on outskirts of town, but no chance to get there this weekend. Got nowt to put down it, but I'll get the parts semi constructed anyway.

That viking axe is nice, a smidgen under £150 on the Cold Steel website.

If that's a replica; the sight of a screaming hoard of vikings tearing towards you brandishing one of those, well, I think I'd have to go and change my trousers.

One thing I thought strange:

Quote:Until recently, we lacked the technical ability to make one to our satisfaction. However, with our new state-of-the-art forging facility, we can offer our customers something truly exceptional.

How come the vikings managed to make one without all these fancy machines, but this lot couldn't manage it until they'd got some new help in? I'm guessing it's better (but less cost effective/can't mass produce) to make these by hand?
