Product description
The francisca was the characteristic throwing axe of the Merovingian Franks and was especially used in the 5th and 6th centuries. It was thrown at the enemy just before combat; numerous archaeological finds testify to its widespread use.
This francisca has a size polished head of carbon steel on a sturdy shaft of ash wood. The edge is lightly sharpened. The simple design is based on historical example.
This weapon is intended for collectors, as decoration and as a historical accessory for re-enactment and living history. The blade is not suitable for combat or sparring.
