    Description

    Otzi the Iceman
    Was a jolly happy soul
    With a flint knapped knife and a copper axe
    He was killed and then he froooooze
    Otzi the ice man
    He was found in ‘91
    On a mountain top high in the alps by hikers that were Deutsch
    Otzi the iceman
    Was moved to a museum
    You can visit him but he is dead so he‘ll have nothing to saaaaaay
    Apple Wood Handles from the same root growing tree
    Axe developed a crack after manufactured as seen in last image. This is mainly cosmetic. I do not believe it would effect the axe doing what could be reasonable asked if it.
    High Carbon steel blades. The Axe is forged from a Tractor Lawn mower blade. It has been quenched & heat treated. The Knife is made from a carbon steel Machete blade. It has been quenched & heat treated. Both blades are blued for aesthetic & rust prevention. Both blades are epoxied and wedged in place.
    axe blade and handle are bound with leather
    knife Handle is wrapped with cordage
    Axe handle is treated with linseed oil as is knife handle.
    Sheath has laced leather inner, with rabbit fur outer.
    This represents Ötzi’s Kit as faithfully as possible while taking advantage of modern manufacturing techniques.
    Otzi’s Knife was smaller than the one offered but I have always felt it was longer originally as he resharpened it it came to the length he had at the time of death
