arrived today. head is very sharp point & edge. 734 grams inc. the 35 in. (89cm.) haft. blade edge is 3 in. edge to point of the spike is 7 in. (18cm.), at the eye it's 7/8 in. across, about 2.3 cm.eye is about 1.25 in. x 7/8 in. ( 30 x12mm). roughly the size of my french fire axe/hatchet based on the french boarding axe. much smaller than a USA fire axe of course.

haft is 1 1/8 in. x 7/8 in. an at the ground end is 3/4 in. so the above climbing ferrule should fit after i 'age it a bit.

just the right length for me as a walking stick. shame i can't actually walk anywhere with is as it very obviously an 'offensive weapon' that would scare the average british sheeple.

head is very tightly set, nail removed and it's still very tight, no wobble. probably won't re-set it.
