Viking Axe: A Legacy of Strength

The Viking axe holds a significant place in history, especially during the Viking Age, when Norse warriors dominated the battlefield. These axes were not just tools of war but also essential for everyday tasks, from building Viking longboats to woodworking. The long axe and hand axe were commonly used by Norse warriors, with a design that allowed for one-handed use, making them both versatile and deadly.

Our collection pays homage to this rich history, offering axes that are as functional as they are beautiful. Each axe is inspired by the tools that helped shape the Viking Age, featuring designs that have been passed down through generations.

Types of Viking Axes

  • Broad Axe: The Broad Axe was a crucial tool in the Viking era, known for its wide blade and versatility in both woodworking and combat. This robust axe, with its broad cutting edge, was primarily used for precision tasks such as shaping wood, building ships, and constructing homes. However, its size and sharpness also made it an effective weapon during battles.

  • Dane Axe: Known for its long, curved blade, the Dane Axe is perfect for cleaving through armor. Its design allows for powerful thrusting and slashing attacks, making it a favored weapon in hand-to-hand combat.

  • Bearded Axe: With its distinctive "beard" at the bottom of the axe head, this axe is ideal for both offensive and defensive combat. It can hook and catch an opponent’s weapon or shield, giving you an advantage on the battlefield.

  • Francisca: A lightweight throwing axe that was popular among the Franks. Its design allows for easy throwing, making it a deadly weapon in both offensive and defensive situations.

  • Skeggox: A woodworking axe with a long, thin blade and a curved edge. While primarily used as a tool, the Skeggox can also serve as a formidable weapon.
