One-Handed Viking Bearded Axe with Hammer Poll

One-Handed Viking Bearded Axe with Hammer Poll

This axe immediately catches the eye with its authentic craftsmanship. The centrepiece is the dark metal head (overall length approx. 14.8 cm / 5.8 inches), crafted from durable carbon steel (as mentioned in the supplementary text). It features the characteristic shape with the extended lower edge – the typical "beard" that gives the axe its name. The cutting edge width is approximately 11.4 cm (4.5 inches). On the opposite side of the head, you'll find a practical rectangular hammer poll (measuring approx. 26.6 x 37.5 mm), broadening the axe's versatility. The axe is supplied not fully sharpened (edge thickness approx. 0.5 mm) with a blade thickness of around 4.3 mm measured 1 cm from the edge, allowing for safer handling and sharpening to your own preference.

The handle, crafted from dark-stained hardwood, has an overall length of approximately 58.5 cm (around 23 inches), ensuring a comfortable one-handed grip. It fits snugly in the palm thanks to its ergonomic teardrop profile, pointed forwards. The handle measures approximately 31.9 x 22.6 mm where you grip it, widening slightly to approx. 38.1 x 27.77 mm at the end for a secure hold. Despite its solid construction, the axe feels pleasingly balanced, weighing only around 646 grams (approx. 1.42 lbs).

Included is a stylish, custom-fitted brown leather sheath to protect the blade and ensure safety during transport or storage.
