The real deal

Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer is a touchstone to a generation of metalheads. Now the Death Dealer Axe (and matching helmet!) is available in a limited edition of 1000 pieces by FilmSwords. Not a replica, this is the real deal.

Each axe is handmade by the talented artisans at Albion with a carbon steel (hand-ground blade) and mild steel (investment cast socket and spike), with an antiqued, hand-finished and hand-rubbed haft.

Though certainly a striking display item, the Death Dealer is fully functional.

Just like Commander Data? Much as the Death Dealer Axe's hand-rubbed haft sounds appealing, and as handy at the helmet would be for British Iron Age shows, if I could only pick one item on the site it would be a Martian Longsword; just the ticket for duels hanging from the rigging of the old aetheric battle zeppelin. More along the same lines at Jody Sampson's limited edition swords website.

Swords and Axes are nice, but I'd rather have a Henry Boxer, short chamber, 45 caliber. And a bayonet wiv' a bit of guts behind it!

Though I suppose an Officer might find one useful.
