This is essentially a mortising axe but forged with a socket to accept a handle. It has a double bevel and a thick, stout design. It's roughly 1 5/8in wide and 19in long. It's unmarked but does have some nice decoration around the socket. The handle is roughly made, but in great shape. It's a unique tool that I find fascinating. $45
