Man I want one!!! I'd like one more simple though but that is an awesome weapon, one to be admired from a healthy and safe distance perhaps.

How much did that end up costing him? Looks impressive!

That thing is amazing! I especially like the minor imperfections you left in the steel, it gives it that great hand crafted appearance.

Fantasttic work! It has both a rugged quality to it combined with a certain air of refinement. I love it!

Very impressive work! Both this and the Ahlspeiss posted elswhere in the forum. Ever though about doing one of the 'Swedish' halberds drawn by Dolnstein?

I'd love to see it in action, after swinging a one metre 1.5kg mace and feeling noodle armed as a result one imagines that a 2 metre 1.5kg poleaxe would be a mighty beast to throw around, what cracking good fun.
It looks very sturdy too, with all that stee coming down the shaft , impresive to say the least
By the way that hammer like thing looks like a meat tenderiser, how's it supposed to work?

No but I have lost my originality. I will go with another project ... modern times require originality, even if it wasn't a value for old times at all, on the contrary, artists would try to stay in line with the past.

Thanks again for the comments guys. I try my best to pay homage to the originals.
These wonderful polearms are also a strong influence on this one - details on how the head is alined, spikedetails, decorations etc..
