Antique Shipbuilder's Adze

This antique shipbuilder's adze does not date to the Viking age, but the Norse-Vikings used adzes just like this for building their famous Drakkar, or Dragon Ships!  This particular adze dates to the 19th Century I believe, and was found in a barn.  The blade is 3 3/8 inches wide, and the head is roughly 8 1/2 inches long.  The 31 7/8 inch handle has a curvature in it that was probably created by warping, but ironically enough that curvature would actually allow better control over your swing of the adze.  The handle shows signs of lots of use and sweat during it's lifetime.  Whether you want an adze for carpentry work, or just collect fine old antique tools, this is one very nice old adze!
