Salaams Fernando, Excellent thread on the axe ! I was amazed at its use in providing cork from Portugal. Please see www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDaB-NNyM8o which sets out another use for this useful chopper. Brilliantly animated. I read that Portugal was the source for not only exceptional Port( and obviously corks) in days gone by but also in the same shipments were sent Yew Longbow timber for the English Long Bow Men.. This looks like a fighting axe given a second use. Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
