Product description
The axe was an indispensable and versatile tool for the Vikings, whether used for felling trees, building ships, houses, and furniture, or as a weapon in combat. The shape and size of the axe heads were adapted to their intended use. Some axes were beautifully decorated, serving as status symbols and often buried alongside their owner.
This type of axe head is classified as Petersen Type F. The blade resembles that of Type E, but is more symmetrical, with the curvature of the beard extending further back toward the neck. Axes of this type were likely designed for woodworking and were highly suitable for that purpose. They were used from approximately 900 to 975 AD.
The “beard” – the downward-extending part of the blade – provided a larger cutting surface without adding weight. This design allowed the user to grip the handle directly behind the head for shaping or carving wood. In combat, the beard also offered advantages, such as hooking or pulling an opponent’s shield or weapon.
This replica axe features a hand-forged blade made of high-quality carbon steel and a sturdy ash wood handle.
