[QUOTE="Jack1899, post: 6953830, member: 79783"]Appreciate all the responses, thanks everyone. I’m open to the possibility that it’s natural… but just fits and shapes so well to the hand. I’ve seen the axe head photos and also considered that as a possibility, but agree it doesn’t look too similar and is much rougher.
