Ever wanted to pretend to be a Roman Legionnaire? Need a lightweight but really kick-ass little axe? Then take a look at the Fox Roman-style Hunter’s Axe.

It weighs only about a pound and is a little over a foot long, making it an ideal little axe for your yard work (or building fortified camps). It’s made in Northern Italy using Swedish steel and is of very high quality.

What do I like most about this axe? Well, it looks really cool for one. And it has a wonderfully shaped blade. But the one thing that I find most impressive is the handle design.

The handle is a marvel in wood shaping. You grasp the axe from the bottom end of the handle and it fits perfectly into your clasped hand. It’s such a natural position that the axe becomes and extension of your arm. The grip is so perfect that it feels magical in your hand — it’s that good.

In the USA you can get the Fox Roman Hunters Axe at A.G. Russell for about $70. (Russell is a reputable dealer, based out of Arkansas. I’ve bought a number of things from them.)
