Product description

This type of axe head is classified as Petersen type M, better known as the famous “Daneaxe.” The blade has a wide, very thin-forged, wedge-shaped, and flared cutting edge, often with yoke-like projections on either side of the eye. The head is relatively light due to the thin steel, but large in surface area. This is the classic Daneaxe, which began appearing in larger numbers around 950 AD.

It was used by elite warriors, such as huscarls, and was particularly effective for attacking mounted opponents and breaking shield walls. Type M heads have been found from Scandinavia to England and Eastern Europe. Axes like this remained in use into the 12th century and were employed in the Middle Ages as sparth axes by the Gaelic peoples of the Irish Sea region.

The Danish axe features a hand-forged blade. It measures 82 cm in total length and 19 cm in width.
