Product Details
Our hand forged, tempered high carbon steel Viking Axehead is a replica of the famous axe head found at Hejde in Gotland. It weighs just under 500 grams and is 22cm long with a cutting surface of 16 cm.
The cutting edge is semi-sharp so it can be honed for cutting or blubted for reenactment combat. The edges of the horn of the axe has been rounded to 20mm.
Suitable for all forms of re-enactment combat.
This style of axe head has also been found in Sweden (Narke finds) and Denmark (Peterstrup finds) and were estimated to have been made in the late 10th century. Like the Dane Axe, it is larger than previous axes which is probably the result of better armour being developed at the same time. This type of axe was used thouhout the British Isles and mainland Europe until the 13th century.
You will need to mount the axe head on a wooden shaft and ensure that it is securely fitted.
