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
