Viking Axe with Engraved Runes

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

What do the runes on the shaft mean?

This is a question we often get from our customers; so here is the meaning of each rune from top to bottom:

OTHALA ᛟ - “HERITAGE”

Othala represents Inheritance. It symbolizes Ancestry, Possessions, Heritage, Experience, Value.

MANNAZ ᛗ - “MAN”

Mannaz represents Humanity. It symbolizes Individuality, Friendship, Society, Cooperation, Help.

GEBO ᚷ - “GIFT”

    Looks and feels the part!

    Ordered a pair after seeing battle scenes in Vikings:Valhalla showing two 1 handed axe fighting style. Delivered within 2 weeks of ordering. They look amazing and feel very solid, tough weapons, the head being firmly attached. These are NOT toys! The blades are weighty and very sharp so be extremely careful if using for cosplay. You could easily send someone to Valhalla for real with this, so don't use for actual re-enactment or LARP combat and be fully aware of the laws regarding offensive weapons in your area before thinking about taking these out in public.

    Thanks a lot! Your words mean a lot.

    Combat Carbon Steel Viking Axe

    The axe is all around great! Small thing I was dissapointed with is a dimple in my axe head right near the cutting edge. I don't know if this will weaken the blade over time but I like the look. The sheath is good also!

    It took a while to arrive but I guess it's because of the customs in my country (Brazil). The axe is just great though!
