Product description

This Viking axe head is based on several originals, including a 9th-century Danish example.

This type of axe blade is classified as Petersen Type D. It is a transitional form, often featuring a wider blade and a shorter neck, and many examples remain asymmetrical. The connection between the blade and the haft is broad, making this type of bearded axe stronger than its predecessors, Types B and C. This type of axe was likely used primarily for functional purposes and only secondarily for warfare. It was in use from around 800 to 875 AD.

The “beard” — the downward-extending part of the blade — provided a larger cutting surface without adding extra weight. This design allowed the user to hold the haft just behind the head for woodworking or shaping wood. In combat, the beard also offered advantages, such as being able to hook or strike an opponent’s shield or weapon.

The edge of this axe blade is reinforced, making it battle-ready.
