Our Medieval Viking Functional Battle Axe is sturdy, resilient and build to perform under the strictest environment. Catered to individual preference. This Viking Axe has a handcrafted look and a brutal design, one that makes it a weapon to be feared by all those who might face it in battle. This impressive weapon features a blackened head that is forged from wrought iron. This ensures that the axe head is tough and durable as well as capable of taking and dealing out punishment. The blade features a distinctive, curved edge with a slight beard that ends in a point. The back is flattened and hammer-like. The axe head is mounted on a wood haft that is wrapped with leather ties, which both help secure the axe-head and provide a secure grip all along the hafts length. Its size is such that this axe serves perfectly as either a one-handed battle axe or a two-handed weapon. Either way, this Viking Axe features a lot of potential, both as a historic artifact to have hanging on your wall and as a weapon for you to wield at the training ground and on the field of battle.
