Double-headed axes were especially popular as felling axes in the 1800s. As weapons, they were typically used with a spike on one side rather than two blades, allowing them to be used against heavily armoured opponents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon steel will rust — oil after every use.
