Add a legendary blade to your collection with the Hanwei Short Viking Axe - Antiqued.
Simple.
Reliable.
Deadly.
The Hanwei Antiqued Short Viking Axe is inspired by the versatile axes carried by Norse warriors throughout the Viking Age. Used for everything from daily camp life to fierce battlefield encounters, the short axe became one of the most practical and iconic weapons in Scandinavian history.
Expertly crafted by Hanwei, this beautifully antiqued reproduction combines traditional styling with modern craftsmanship. The forged carbon steel head features a blackened finish and a hardened, sharpened edge, while the tapered hardwood shaft uses the traditional slip-head construction found on many historical originals, providing a secure and authentic fit.
Well balanced and designed to reflect the handling characteristics of the originals, this axe has even been produced to withstand throwing and is competition approved, making it a favourite among historical throwing enthusiasts as well as collectors.
To complete the package, Hanwei includes a leather edge cover for safer handling, transport and storage.
Whether displayed alongside Viking weaponry or used for historical demonstrations, this is a superb example of one of history's most enduring axe designs.
