Viking Battle Axe Head, Tempered Carbon Steel
Quality You Can Rely On
True Tempered Steel
Tired of replicas that fall apart at the first clash? This axe head is forged from genuine, carefully tempered carbon steel. This process gives it the optimal balance of hardness and toughness, ensuring it will withstand the rigors of combat. The clean and smooth finish gives it an elegant yet formidable appearance.
Designed for Combat
The shape of the axe corresponds to the historical bearded axe type, or skeggøx. The extended lower portion of the blade (the "beard") was immensely useful in a fight—Vikings used it to hook and pull down opponents' shields or to snag their limbs. This item is supplied as a head only, giving you the freedom to mount it on a haft of your own preference and needs.
Ready for the Shield Wall
This axe head is the ideal choice for reenactment, stage combat, or as a key part of your Viking costume. It is designed to be fully functional and ready for action. For safety reasons in reenactment fighting, the blade edge is delivered dull. However, if you wish to use it for other purposes, such as a utility tool or as a sharp display piece, the edge can be easily sharpened.

Care and Mounting
As the axe head is made from carbon steel, it is prone to rust. Always keep it dry and, after each use, clean it and lightly coat it with oil (e.g., Ballistol, WD-40, or mineral oil).
Important: You are responsible for correctly and securely mounting the head onto a haft. Use a suitable wood (ash or hickory are ideal) and ensure the head is fitted tightly and safely. A loose axe head is extremely dangerous!
