about 10 minutes i'd say if you want it clean like this. It does look like TTK's work, hadnt seen that yet... where is TTK BTW?
back on topic, you take a halberd (I call it just a big axe), a sharp and easy in your hand knife, a nail sanding... thing (use one with a rough, flat side) and... thats it!
use the knife to cut off the top pin, the upper half of the axe' blade and a piece of the handle (you can choose where). Try to cut it straight by laying it on a table. You now have your rough axe.
Now use the nail sanding thing (:p) and try to get the axe head and the top of the handle running in a straight line. Also get the bottom of the handle straight. Now hold the nail thing diagonal (like this: / ) and softly sand the edges of the handle bottom, top and the blade.
A annoying side effect of the cutting is that there sometimes will be a white spot because the plastic was forced. No problem! You can use a little water on your finger, and rub it on the white spot. Suprisingly, saliva works even better! (I hope you dont need instructions to get it on the axe :p ) Now the white spot camouflages with the colour of the axe.
There you go, a nice clean axe for your minifig to chop in someone's body
