A guy tried to sell me William Wallace's Lochabar Axe.

I looked it over, but it just seemed too new.

The guy said it had had three new shafts and two new blades, but it was William Walllace's Lochabar Axe....

Nice work on the lochaber.

Riverkilt, sounds like the hammer I bought in '49. . . . . never had the head or handle replaced at the same time. . . .

The place to go for the Lochaber Axe is to go to the Wildhighlanders.org. His name is Alex Cameron, and he makes a mean lochaber axe. The issue is shipping, because of the size of the weapon. He is based out of Florida, and his contact info is on one of his web pages. He is an expert armourer, blacksmith, and forger, and it is about as hisorically accurate as you can get. All weapons made by him are one of a kind, so no 2 weapons look alike. He does fantastic custom designs as well. If he is still in business, I do not know. He does not come cheap, but the worksmanship will last a lifetime. Hope this helps.
