Cold Steel Viking Axe

A Legendary Norse Weapon, Recreated with Cold Steel Precision.

The Cold Steel Viking Axe is a faithful recreation of one of history's most iconic battlefield weapons, combining authentic Scandinavian design with modern manufacturing quality. Inspired by the axes carried by Viking warriors during the early medieval period, this impressive two-handed axe is crafted for historical enthusiasts, collectors, re-enactors and display alike. Its elegant proportions and formidable cutting edge make it a striking centrepiece in any collection.

Forged from tough 1055 high carbon steel, the axe head features the broad, thin profile that made Viking axes both agile and devastatingly effective. The expansive 10-inch cutting edge is fully polished and hand-sharpened to produce a clean, refined finish, while the distinctive horned profile at each end of the blade faithfully captures the appearance of surviving historical examples. The combination of a lightweight blade geometry and durable carbon steel provides excellent balance and authentic handling characteristics.

Supporting the axe head is a robust 48-inch American hickory haft, crafted in Maine using one of the world's most respected hardwoods for striking tools. Hickory's outstanding strength, flexibility and natural shock absorption make it perfectly suited to a large two-handed axe, while the generous length offers excellent leverage and controlled handling. The natural wooden finish complements the traditional styling, creating a piece that looks every bit as authentic as it feels.

Whether displayed as part of a historical collection, used for living history demonstrations or appreciated for its outstanding craftsmanship, the Cold Steel Viking Axe embodies the spirit of the legendary Norse warriors who inspired its design. Combining historical accuracy with Cold Steel's renowned attention to quality, it is an exceptional example of one of the most influential weapons ever carried into battle.
