Reproduction Toki - Traditional Maori Adze by vik

Last crawled date: 4 years, 7 months ago

This is a reprapped replica of a traditional type of adze made by the Maori in New Zealand. The blade is usually made from pounamu, a type of nephrite closely resembling jade. Fine specimens are often worn as jewellery in the form of a necklace pendant. The bindings are traditionally native flax, but I have taken the liberty of using PTFE threadseal tape for my version.
