The flail axe . The flax

This is one of the many handmade axes that I’ve designed and made. The advantages of the flail axe are numerous. The build up of kinetic energy achieved through centripetal acceleration, increases the striking force of the double-bit head. Thus, little effort is needed to achieve a powerful swing. The long handle, which is twice the length of the chain, provides ample area for one’s striking hand to be safely placed without fear of it being struck by the blade. Upon impact, force is dissipated through the chain, transferring little to no shockwave to one’s hand or body. #handmade #axe #tools #diy
