Description

The Viking's Trusted Companion.

Small enough to carry.

Strong enough to survive.

Inspired by archaeological discoveries from the Viking Age, the Hanwei Antiqued Throwing Axe faithfully recreates the compact axes that accompanied Norse warriors on campaign. Equally at home around the campfire, on the battlefield or during everyday tasks, this versatile design became an essential tool for generations of Vikings.

Expertly crafted by Paul Chen at the renowned Hanwei forge, this historically inspired axe combines authentic proportions with premium craftsmanship. The forged carbon steel head features an attractive antiqued finish that recreates the appearance of a well-used historical weapon, while the hardwood shaft incorporates a traditional swelled end to provide secure head retention and faithful historical styling.

Compact, well balanced and full of character, this axe makes an outstanding addition to any Viking, medieval or historical weapons collection.

Whether displayed alongside swords and shields or appreciated on its own, it captures the practical simplicity that made Viking tools and weapons so effective.
