Default axes
The first shows definite signs in terms of an old bevelled edge of being a sharp useful weapon. The blade is about 30cm tip to tip.

The other shows no obvious signs of being a 'real' weapon having no bevel. The blade on this one is only about 15cm. The two colour wire binding is not done justice by the photo - it is truly spectacular.

Both blades are quite pitted and have a nice patina.
