Ravenspine Spike Axe 7" Handmade Damascus Bearded Head with Spike Vintage An alternating black and tanCombining a cutting edge with an opposite side spike gave historical smiths a single head that could chop, pierce, or serve as a striking tool depending on the task at hand. The Ravenspine Spike Axe continues that same dual function design as every Handcrafted Steel Axe we forge. The bearded profile on the cutting side adds extra edge length, while the spike on the reverse gives the head a second working function most standard axes don't offer.
