Arm yourself like a true Viking with this beautiful bearded Axe! Not only does this axe impress with its quality workmanship and classic design, but it is also extremely affordable.
The bearded axe or skeggøx (from the Old Norse skegg for beard and øx for axe) was used as a tool and weapon in early medieval Scandinavia as early as the 6th century AD. Its characteristic “beard” or hook provided a larger cutting surface without significantly increasing the overall weight of the axe. This shape also proved extremely useful in combat, as the axe could be used to pull weapons or shields from an opponent’s hand. The axe was usually made of wrought iron with a steel edge, which made it cheaper to produce than a sword.
This high quality, hand-forged Viking bearded axe has a carbon steel blade mounted on a sturdy ash wood shaft. The edge is slightly ground but not sharpened.
This Viking Bearded Axe is designed as a collector’s or decoration / display piece, and, besides its quality as a collectible, is perfectly suited as a prop, e.g. to complete your costume. Now nothing stands in the way of your transformation into a proud warrior!
