Wholesale, trade and group orders

Wholesale Viking Axes, Swords and Knives

Ransack Viking supplies shops, online stores, re-enactment suppliers, clubs and companies with handmade axes, swords, knives, armour and Norse goods. Tell us what you need and how many, and a person in Chicago comes back to you with pricing for your order.

Why trade buyers work with us

One supplier for the whole range

Axes, swords, Damascus knives, armour, shields and Norse gifts on one order, from one contact, instead of five suppliers and five invoices.

An origin you can repeat

Every piece is handmade in the Czech Republic and we say so openly, so you can tell your own customers exactly where it came from. Details on our country of origin page.

Engraving done in the United States

Names, dates, runes and crests are engraved here before the order ships, so a group or company order arrives finished and ready to hand out.

A person, not a portal

No trade account to apply for. Send the form, open the live chat or call, and you deal with the same people from the first question to delivery.

Capacity for volume and custom work

Wholesale is not a side door for us. We are set up to supply companies, resellers and groups in volume, and to have pieces made to your own brief when the catalogue does not carry exactly what you need.

Capacity for large and repeat orders

The Czech workshops that make our pieces and our Chicago warehouse handle orders from a few dozen pieces to large runs, plus repeat orders for stockists who sell through and need the shelf filled again.

Competitive pricing for companies

Companies, resellers and distributors get pricing set for the size of the order, so the more you buy, the better the price per piece. It is quoted for your order, which makes it a real number rather than a list price with a promise attached.

Made to your design

Need a size, blade shape, handle material or marking the catalogue does not have? Send a drawing, a photo or a plain description. Custom pieces are handmade in the Czech Republic to your brief, and any engraving is added in the United States.

Planned around your date

Tell us when you need the order and the work is planned around it. If a date is not realistic, we say so at the start, not the week before it is due.

Ways to buy wholesale

Most trade orders fall into one of these four. Pick the closest in the form and we will take it from there.

Wholesale bestsellers, with the prices shoppers see

Most stockists start with the pieces that already sell. These are live listings with their retail prices, so you can see what your own customers would pay before you ask what you would pay. Wholesale pricing is quoted for your order and the price per piece drops as the quantity goes up.

Engraved Viking axes and knives in bulk

A lot of wholesale requests are not for a shop at all. They are ten matching axes for a wedding party, thirty knives for a company award, or a set of drinking horns for a club. Every piece can be engraved in the United States with names, dates, runes or a crest before it ships, so the order arrives ready to hand out rather than ready for another errand.

Browse the wedding and groomsmen gifts, the bearded axes or the drinking horns to see what engraves well, then send the quantity and the wording in the form below.

How a wholesale order runs

1. Tell us what you need

The pieces, rough quantities, any engraving and the date you need them. The form below asks for all of it.

2. We come back with pricing

Pricing for your quantity, what is in stock and what it will cost to ship, in writing.

3. Engraving, if you asked for it

Once you confirm, any engraving is done in the United States before the order is packed.

4. Shipped from Chicago

The order leaves our Chicago, Illinois warehouse for your door, in the US or abroad.

    Wholesale questions

    How do I get wholesale prices?

    Send the wholesale form on this page, open the live chat or call 904-658-8040. Pricing depends on the pieces, the quantity and any engraving, so we give it for your actual order rather than a general list.

    Is there a minimum wholesale order?

    It depends on what you are ordering and whether it is engraved. Tell us what you have in mind and we will tell you straight away whether it works as a wholesale order.

    Can I mix axes, swords and knives on one order?

    Yes. One wholesale order can combine axes, swords, knives, armour and accessories from across the catalogue.

    Can you make custom pieces to our own design?

    Yes. Send a drawing, a photo or a description of the size, blade, handle and markings you want. Custom pieces are handmade in the Czech Republic to your brief, and we reply with pricing and a realistic time frame for your quantity.

    Can you handle large or repeat orders?

    Yes. We supply companies, resellers and groups in volume and handle repeat orders for stockists. Tell us the quantities and how often you expect to reorder, and we will price it on that basis.

    Where are your wholesale pieces made?

    Every piece is handmade in the Czech Republic. We import them, check them and ship them from our warehouse in Chicago, Illinois.

    Can you engrave a wholesale order?

    Yes. Engraving is done in the United States before the order ships. Put the names, runes or crest in your request, or attach your artwork to the form, and it is included when we reply.

    Do you ship wholesale orders outside the United States?

    Yes. We ship from Chicago to the US and worldwide, and shipping for a wholesale order is worked out for that order.

    How quickly will I hear back?

    Usually the same US business day. For an answer while you are still on the page, use the live chat or call 904-658-8040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm US Central.

    Do you give a bulk order discount?

    Yes. Pricing is set for the size of the order, so the price per piece drops as the quantity goes up. Send the pieces and rough quantities and we will quote it in writing.
