A mysteriuous axe

[squern]

Can anyone tell me what this is?

It's obviously an axe of some sort, but do you know what it was specifiucally made for?

It's made by Marples, and is double-edged.

One side chops the wood apart the other side chops it back together again #-o

Looks Viking to me...

It doesn't match any of the Gransfors-Bruks axes at CHT.
A pointy-end on view might be helpful.

That looks like a dwarfs axe...arf-arf-arf

I think Andy's right - brick cleaning or stone facing.

Here's one I bought at the carboot this year.

Much older than yours I think, it has laminated steel edges.
