The flail axe a.k.a. The flax

This is one of the many handmade axes that I’ve designed and made. The advantages of the flail axe are numerous. The build up of kinetic energy achieved through centripetal acceleration, increases the striking force of the double-bit head. Thus, little effort is needed to achieve a powerful swing. The long handle, which is twice the length of the chain, provides ample area for one’s striking hand to be safely placed without fear of it being struck by the blade. Upon impact, force is dissipated through the chain, transferring little to no shockwave to one’s hand or body.

For those times you're sick of all the fresh air, and feel like sitting in an emergency room for the next 6 hours.

Fun fact: the flail was only used for about 60 years in combat as it wasn't reliable as it could hurt the user as well

As in, “ED Nursing station please…. Thank you…. Oh, hey Mr. Greer. This is Dr. Parker… I’m in Trauma Bay 2 with the patient OuterCounty EMS just brought in. Could you please STAT page both the Maxillofacial Surgery Service and Opthalmology for me and let me know when they are on the line…. Thanks!”
