The bearded or skeggøx (from the Old Norse skegg for beard and øx for axe) was used as a tool and a weapon in early medieval Scandinavia as early as the 6th century AD. Its characteristic “beard” or hook provided a longer cutting edge without significantly increasing the overall weight of the axe. This shape also proved extremely useful in combat, as the axe could be used to pull weapons or shields from an opponent's grasp. The axe was usually made of wrought iron with a steel edge, which made it cheaper to produce than a .
This high-quality, forged Viking bearded axe has a carbon steel blade mounted on a sturdy ash wood shaft. The edge is lightly ground but not fully sharpened. The axe head has been intentionally left unpolished, allowing the black patina to give the Viking axe a rustic, authentic appearance.
This Viking bearded axe is designed as a collector's item or decorative display piece, and, besides its quality as a collectible, is perfectly suited as a prop, e.g. to complete your costume. Complete your transformation into a proud Viking warrior!
