Highlanders, particularly those in the Carpathian Mountains, now divided among three nations Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine used to work in the forest with this unusual and ancient axe in the forest. It was also used in mountain climbing and as a lethal weapon. In skilled hands it could crack open a helmet like a nutshell or pull a knight off his horse. Now it is used primarily as a walking stick and in Mountaineer (Gorale) mens folk dances which require great skill to avoid a few chops in the feet or legs! Stories abound about a highland folk hero named Janosik, the "Polish Robin Hood"! The ciupaga axe shaped handle is engraved or etched with traditional decorative motifs. It is 34" long and made of a solid piece of wood with a brass spear like tip on the bottom, which also has multiple uses. Ideal for a den, fireplace or wall and is BEST KEPT OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN, for safety.
