German Mining Axe

Post by Alcyoneus »

Does anyone have dimensions, possibly including blade thickness, for German mining "guild" axes? I'm talking about the ones with the long point on the top end of the blade.

You might inquire of Kirby D. Wise and Son; Kirby used to make the things, back when Fred Flintstone's orange singlet was legal armor.
