Product description
The axe was an indispensable and versatile tool for the Vikings — used to fell trees, build ships, houses, and furniture, or as a weapon in battle. Ax head shapes and sizes were adapted to their intended purpose. Some axes were beautifully decorated and served as status symbols, often buried next to their owner. Today, Viking axes are treasured collectibles and regularly show up in movies, TV series, and video games, reinforcing the image of the wild and fearless Vikings. This Viking axe features a Petersen type E head with a hand-forged blade of high-quality carbon steel and a sturdy ash wood handle. The ax head is engraved with a historic Viking motif, and the axe is wrapped in leather. Great as a gift or to complete a Viking outfit!
