Team Kaizen - The Honey Badger

I agree, you don't want overtly complex mechanisms that can break/shake loose during a round.

For this application, I think I need the pivot point immediately behind the drive wheel to try and get the axe as far forwards as possible. Any issues with freedom of movement can be rectified with a longer axehead if it comes to it, might end up more scythe looking in the process.

A variation on a fauchard would suit quite well instead of an axe.
