Description

The Axe of Kings and Conquerors.

When Vikings went to war...

They carried axes like this.

The Hanwei Antiqued Danish War Axe is a striking recreation of one of the most feared weapons of the Viking Age and medieval battlefield. Wielded by elite Norse warriors and the legendary Huscarls of England, the Danish axe combined incredible reach with devastating cutting power, earning its place among history's most iconic polearms.

Expertly crafted by Hanwei, this impressive full-size replica faithfully captures the distinctive design of the original. The broad, fan-shaped carbon steel blade features an authentic antiqued finish, while the long, straight hardwood shaft provides the commanding presence expected of this legendary weapon.

Reflecting the practical origins of many medieval weapons, the Danish axe evolved from everyday woodworking tools into one of the most formidable battlefield arms of its era. A brass rivet secures the axe head's pointed socket, while the shaped wooden grip incorporates a pronounced lower knob to provide secure hand placement during handling.

Measuring an imposing 39.5 inches (100.3cm) in length and weighing approximately 2.81kg, this impressive display piece is guaranteed to become the centrepiece of any Viking or medieval collection.
