RINALDI Hand Forged Italian Calabria Axe 330n000m

interesting..light weight and useful around the yard and if i camped anymore it would probably be my first pick. upon opening my first impression was at 79$ plus about 5$ shipping this was maybe a little on the high side---BUT, after trying it out, and being of the hard earned philosophy that LESS is often more, you would have to pry this little gem from my hands!!!

Lets be honest here fit and finish were poor the forged head is light and well done the worker that grinds the heads leaves a lot to be desired.more like what id expect from an asian 35$ axe,The grain in handle is worriesome due to the knot near the head ,also i needed to sand and stain the unfinished wood and apply a linseed finish it will remain in the collection one as a reminder not to listen to other reviews unless more than ten,and that truely my granfors are worth the extra
