One-handed Viking battle ax Trygve

The battle ax of the Viking warriors Trygve dates back to around 900 AD. The blade of the ax is lightened by forging and the cutting edge itself is created by continuous grind. The handle of the ax is wrapped with a thin leather strap. This makes the ax easier to hold, and the contrasting black leather, which is initially nailed to the ash handle, also has a decorative function. More information...

Norse warriors and traders who sailed on the famous Drakkars hold a special place in European history. From the British Isles to the Varangian guard of the rulers of Kievan Rus, they were the prototype of the warriors of the "Dark Ages". Death in battle was an honor and a direct path to Valhalla. That is why they were so brave and successful in their numerous expeditions to conquer and plunder the English and European coasts. Traces of their settlement efforts have been found in remote areas such as Iceland and Greenland.
