Hi all,
I have an old Kuba axe for sale. These axes are not easily found. This is the second one, I have encountered so far.
The blade is made of copper, decorated on both sides. The tang of the axe blade, which goes through the handle, is twisted and curved upwards.
The wooden handle is further decorated with hundreds of small copper and brass insets.
A similar axe can be seen in the book 'The fer et de fierté' on page 235 (although that one has an iron blade).
Measurements :
Total length : 38,5 cm
Length of axe blade : 15 cm
Width of axe blade (edge) : 8,2 cm
For more pictures, please mail me.
Price : 120 Euro (shipping included)
