Archer's Hand Axe 600798

Archers always carried a hand weapon in close combat, and an axe like this was the perfect choice for both work and fighting. The flat end was perfect for driving stakes that were often used in the defensive line, and the blade could be used to sharpen them. This is a basic European pattern that was carried and used by infantry as well as mounted warriors.

Its design was practical for all kinds of uses both in the field and in war. Tempered steel head on a good shaft of solid wood. Add this highly functional piece of history to your collection.
