The good … the head is actually welded not brazed this time. The langets , spikes and head are welded and smooth finished,with no lines showing in the finish product . The bad… ??? the axe, hammer and head are half the thickness of steel in the pictures . The actual thickness is .103 , or between 7/64 and 3/32 of an inch ,a little light for battle ready . Langets thickness of material .150 / 5/32 ” or 1/4 ” material should have been carried out ,through the whole piece . I am not smashing my piece into a log or plate armor , battle ready,probably not ! Final thoughts , the fit finish and welding seems to have been greatly improved ,but the thickness of the material has decreased ,and that’s really too bad .
