The head is on the right way - that is the style of this particular (and parculiar) axe.

Thumbs up I like it.

Finally arrived and scrubbed up nicely. A clever solution to the stress of a small but heavy axe head impact on the halft. The blade is 16mm thick where it joins the socket. I am pleased with it. The only problem with things like this is they seem to have absolutely no effect on my waist line.
