Overview
Scottish Lochaber - Deepeeka
This Scottish Lochaber Axe is a polearm with an unsharpened cleaver-like head that is forged from high carbon steel; it is mounted onto a hardwood haft and screwed into place to further secure it to the haft.
the Lochaber Axe is a brutal Scottish polearm with a wide axe-like head designed to cleave and hack apart a target to ferocious effect. The head swiftly terminates into a tapered tip well-suited for decisively thrusting into the target. Lochaber axes are characterized by their integrated hook and there is some debate as to whether the hook was used to dismount cavalrymen or was simply used to conveniently hang them on an armory wall. This example used in this replica is built robustly enough that it could function as an anti-cavalry tool.

I would have to put this weapon very high on the most bad ass, mainly because of the fact of how great these weapons were when used by Scottish armies. If any are looking for a great pole arm weapon, such as for halberd like style, this is it. Though the height of the weapon is a little short compared to the historic type, I would have to say the wight of the weapon is great, and power of the blade is just impressive. And in fact the weapon is perfect for any Jacobite/Scottish rebellion reenactments.
Great axe wish the pole was about a foot and a half longer
I mostly got this because of the Elenium book series where a Lochaber was wielded by a knight on horseback and this is exactly what I pictured down to the shorter handle. I haven’t unscrewed the handle to give the wood quality better test, but the blade itself is everything I’d expect from a decent overseas shop with plentiful access to leaf spring steel and it came soaked in oil and wrapped in plastic so no rust issues. For the quality I would have paid more so have no complaints about the cost to quality ratio. Heavy enough to do some damage but no edge to speak of so it’s perfect for a display or practice piece, but wouldn’t take too long with a diamond grit buffing wheel to work a decent edge.
