This is based on the Tuatahi racing axe but has a 25 degree chisel grind with rolled edge. Otherwise the same quality. Hickory haft. Total length is 30".

The maker says:

Our hand crafted work axes can be used for splitting firewood, general forestry and farm work, and clearing trails etc. They are an extremely durable axe, can handle a wide variety of wood types, and are capable of cutting frozen wood. We have received a lot of feedback about our work axes and their ability to handle various wood types ... Each axe is individually hand forged, heat treated and ground. .... The axe heads are all approximately 7 1/4" long by 7" wide (184x178mm) and one grind.

It comes with a Tuatahi cover.

I bought it as a user but my back had other ideas.

Cost landed was AUD 470.

Postage at cost at buyer's expense.

Superb looking axe. Unfortunately my back, arms and all the rest of me made the same decision your back did (I am the same age).

Would $300 and I pay postage be acceptable?

Sorry mate. The price is firm.

I should say there's about a 3 month waiting list for Tuatahi axes so if you're interested at all, this might be the only place where you can have one by next week.
