Product description

This type of axe head is classified as Petersen Type M, better known as the famous “Daneaxe.” The blade features a wide, thinly forged, wedge-shaped cutting edge, often with spurs on either side of the eye (yoke-like projections). The head is relatively light due to the thin steel, yet has a large surface area.

This is the classic Dane-axe, which appeared in larger numbers from around 950 AD. It was used by elite warriors, such as huscarls, and was especially effective for attacking cavalry and breaking shield walls. On the Bayeux Tapestry, all figures carrying a Danish axe are shown fully armored, and a Danish axe is even offered to Harold for his coronation. Type M heads have been found across Scandinavia, England, and Eastern Europe. Axes like this remained in use well into the 12th century and were used as sparth axes by the Gaelic peoples of the Irish Sea region during the Middle Ages.

This axe is a perfect weapon for reenacting Normans, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, and the Danelaw period. It has a razor-sharp edge and is suitable for practical use, such as chopping wood.
