Viking axe kilt pin

They used to have one on the McAllans of Wick website, but now that particular Viking axe kilt pin is gone from their site. Does anyone here know where I can find one?

That is a very nice kilt pin, but the one I'm looking for has a more "functional" looking blade.

As I'm no expert on axes here is a picture of the shape I'm thinking of:

The bearded axe was quite functional as well as historically correct. However, it was primarily a woodcutting/carpentry blade style that could be pressed into secondary service as a weapon.

Still being made today:

I'm aware that several types of axes were used by the vikings for different tasks and that some vikings even just had one multipurpose axe. I think I'll just have to give McAllans a call about the kilt pin they had and if they can't help me finding another one, I might as well go with the viking knot kilt pin they have at scotweb.co.uk as it is very nice as well.
