Viking axe, cast steel, type A, with engraving and sheath axes

Leather axes were important tools and weapons in the everyday life of the Vikings. They were used for cutting trees, working with wood or in battle. Axe heads were made of different materials such as stone, bone or metal, and had different shapes and sizes, depending on their purpose. Many Viking axes were elaborately decorated and served not only as practical tools, but also as status symbols. Today, Viking axes are popular collector's items, and are often wielded in films, TV series and video games to convey the image of wild and fearless Vikings.

As for the shape, the head of the Viking axe we offer here is classified as Petersen type A. The blade of this axe is made of EN45 carbon steel and engraved with a Nordic motif. The handle is made of robust ash wood and wrapped in leather.

Please note that this early medieval axe is not a battle-ready weapon . It is primarily designed as a collector's or decoration/display piece and is in no way suitable for combat reenactment. In addition to its quality as a collector's item, it is also perfectly suited as an accessory, for example to complete your costume, and will make your transformation into a proud warrior perfect.
