Roman Legion Spiked Battle Axe - Carbon Steel Axe Head, Hardwood Handle, Sharp Spike - Length 28"

I ordered this axe for my father-in-laws man cave. It's well built for the price. A lot of people have complimented on how well it looks.

the head was loose when it arrived, I gave it a minor tweak with some lock washers it feels more solid with lock washers, rough sharp edge is ok, will be sharpening soon good home defense potential

Great weapon for the price... Not sure it would survive heavy combat , but would tear a new one in a burglar. The point is deadly. I bought two and plan to redo the handle with white wax woof (almost unbreakable) on the second one. The studs were rusty straight out of the box but make it look more authentic and easier to grip. The head alone is worth the money!

I bought this as one of my first items from Bud K. Very impressive and good for the price. But to make is functional as a reenactment piece you'll need to mount it to a better handle.

Very good axe for price. I just got it today, and cant wait to display it. I'm not sure how much force it can with-stand, it seems very light-weight. Only problem is the rust. Its not a very big deal but on the spike on the back of the axe is rusted a little. It kind of adds texture to it so I don't mind it much. I just was not expecting to have it, but it does not diminish how great this axe looks.

It's a nice looking axe for the price. Quite a bit lighter than I was imagining though. I haven't really whacked anything with it but the axe head is already wiggling a bit so I'm not sure if I will even try. The studs are pretty much just thumb tacks pushed into the wood handle. A pretty decent show axe for the price. I'm still searching for a nice looking (and reasonably priced) fully functional two-handed battle axe.

I bought this axe some years ago. When I got it I was highly impressed with the look of it, but I knew from the moment I picked it up that it was no combat piece. It's head loosens up way too easily for that. And the handle seems to be of a very light wieght wood. Over all it looks great when my troop does it's photo shoots and when I'm at non-combat events.

I am horribly disappointed with the construction of this axe. I guess I just expected more from the picture. It would make a great ornamental piece from a distance but close up it looses alot of its luster. If it was better constructed I would have given it a five.

a great axe for a great price, really sharp,well made. budk did it again.

it is not as sharp as i thought, but the spike is good

yea, just to add onto what else was said, this has a real nice weight to it. Most of all it feels dangerous, keep away from children, it incites bloodshed. The studs on mine were rusted too when it came and a plastic seal or film of some sort covered parts of it, but the rust actually improves the grip. Besides if you actually use it for anything, which you can do, the christmas tree sap or blood is gonna make the blade rust anyway.

for twenty dollars you cannot go wrong. obviously not the greatest quality weapon but far better than you would expect for the phenomenal price tag. my only complaint is the small bit of rust on the blade. though that's probably because the delivery guy left the box out in the rain. a must have item for anyone and everyone. 100 percent satisfied.

i bought it for a practice axe, it was too good for the price it is actually better than my other weapons full tang or not. seriously buy this axe, if u are undecided trust a man that uses it everyday its built for war

I'm giving this 5/5 Stars for one simple reason: You just can't get better quality for the cost. This axe only required about 10 minutes of work to get into top shape.. the wood isn't perfect but it's better then what you pay for. The axe head is one piece aside from the spike, the brass piece at the top holds it together nicely and looks good.. Metal stud grip works much better then I expected. The base of the axe head is a little more then a 1/4 inch thick and looks great out of the box! 5/5 great deal!
