    A great axe! Looks a lot like GB Scandinavian forest axe... What's the length of it all?

    not your typical American style axe - looks to me like an early Scandinavian type chopper.

    haft seems to be u.s,but head not,well , double curve haft is allways looking american!
    well put an edge on that and use it!
    this is a huge felling axe 36 inch means 91 cm,it'll be hard to drive,and specialised in tasks,not like a 27 inches,wich could be a felling axe,and a camp axe as well,or even better a 23" wich is more versatile.
    i guess head is heavy too,more than 1,5 kg,wich is painfull to use longtime.
