Inspired by original Norse axes, we forged this Viking axe with careful attention to details to produce a fine and authentic masterpiece.

The head is made of high carbon steel which makes it robust and resilient.

The handle is made of rosewood which is durable, dense and very tough. It offers good resistance and remarkable stability.

The handle is also engraved with Nordic Runes and encircled with leather straps. The leather straps are tightly fixed on the shaft to add a strong grip
