The bearded axe is the most recognizable shape of the Viking age, with its extended lower blade designed for hooking shields and gripping close behind the head. Our Viking bearded axes are hand forged in Damascus or high carbon steel and hafted on birch or ash handles, each with a fitted leather blade cover. Historically inspired and fully functional, they suit reenactors, collectors, campers, and anyone who wants a genuine piece of Norse-style craftsmanship.
