Delivery to Germany 5 days after that.
It was well protected and packed.
The axe itself is beautifully crafted. The wooden handle is very solid yet very light. Sanding and staining is also well done. The leather strips wrapped around the handle are not as tightly wrapped for my liking, but they should hold alright since the leather looks to be of decent quality and the nails used to fix them seem to be of the right length.
The axe head itself is awesomely forged. Very solid and well polished, and due to its form and design somewhat light. It’s fixed to the handle like a rock. The sharpened edge was what had me the most worried since I have read many reviews of Darskword complaining about their sharpening techniques. The edge is perfect for an axe, so I worried for nothing.
My only complaint, which is why I subtracted a star, is the pattern on the head: there are some blotches and uneven lines here and there. I was expecting it to be a bit more clean.
Despite this, and due to the before mentioned points, I am pretty satisfied with this axe. Already had my first argument with the wife for breaking stuff with it.
