The shaft appears to have a protective coating on it that also allows for extera grip by having loads of small raised bubbles on it.
The head of the axe, is quit tough, and has not been...

I have a bit of a strange relationship with Lush bath bombs – certainly not the full-on adoration enjoyed by some of my fellow Ciaoers, but they have been part of my life for a long time, since Lush first split off from Cosmetics-to-Go and opened... more
There are two types of spin-offs in the world: one is where the videogame builds on its predecessor's material and tries to take the experience one step further. The other is a cheap and shameless cash-in. Revenant Wings is hands down one of the worst... more
