Viking Axes

Battle Axes were one of the most fearsome weapons used by the Viking and Anglo-Saxons alike. The shape of the axe head differed according to its purpose. Broad headed 2 handed axes that appeared towards the end of the period were specialised weapons that were almost a distinguishing mark of the Anglo-Danish Huscarls at the Battle of Hastings. Beaded Axes are sometimes identified as being specifically Nordic in origin. We offer a great rage of Viking Axes. From the broad bladed battle axes to the francisca style throwing axes we are sure to have an axe that suits your needs. We even stock axe heads with 3mm edges that are suitable for re-enactment.

  • Francisca Viking Axe - Antiqued

    The Francisca so named for its Frankish origins, was used by the Vikings both as a throwing weapon and for close-quarters combat. Its graceful lines are legendary but the upswept point and downturned edge were both capable of penetrating chain mail.

    Our Francisca features a forged head with an antiqued finish and a swelled-end hardwood shaft for secure head retention.

    Please note: Axe shafts are not covered by our manufacturer’s warranty and will not be replaced when they break. Axe shafts can break under a variety of different conditions and will normally be replaced on a fairly regular basis. To prolong the life of your axe head, we recommend never throwing 2 axes into the same target and throwing on a range with a soft surface (such as grass).

    Overall: 43cm
    Blade Length: 9cm
    Weight: 539g
    Thickness at Guard: 0.6cm

  • Viking Thane Axe

    This Windlass hand axe features many traits common to the Norse hatchets we've come to love through the years. The solid, one-piece forged head is strong X46Cr13 high-grade stainless steel with a 52 RC. The comfortably contoured handle is Sissoo, a North Indian hardwood and it's capped with a handsome genuine bone butt cap. Even better are the Norse engravings unique to our axe that are deeply etched on both sides of the handle, and on the bone end cap is a depiction of Thor's mighty hammer, Mjolnir.

    Includes leather belt sheath. Handy in size and gorgeous on display.
    Comes in a faux fur lined box.

    Overall Length: 25cm
