Hand forged steel Viking axe, type A

Axes were an indispensable and versatile tool for the Vikings, used for tasks such as felling trees, building ships, houses and furniture, as well as in battle. The shape and size of ax heads were determined by their intended use. There were also richly decorated axes that functioned as status symbols and were often buried alongside their owners. Today, Viking axes are popular collector's items and are often used in films, television series and video games to convey the image of wild and fearless Vikings.

In terms of shape, the Viking ax head we offer here is classified as a Petersen type A. The blade is hand forged from high carbon steel, and the handle is made from durable ash wood.

It is important to note that this early medieval ax is not designed for combat. Primarily, it is a collector's or decorative piece, and is in no way suitable for combat reenactment. In addition to its quality as a collector's item, it is also perfect as a prop, for example, to complete your costume, and will make your transformation into a proud warrior perfect.

It is important to note that due to the nature of the materials used (steel and wood), specifications may vary slightly from piece to piece.
