content: Metal blade is flat and wide along top. Rear side curves radically inward, forming a narrow strip of metal, and leads directly down to attachment of handle. Blade side of axe has a much softer curve, and leads to a bottom edge of blade which joins handle. Handle is made of wood, although upper 15 cm. of it is encased in metal. There is one hooked projection of wood high up on handle; then handle tapers as it nears bottom.
