A Viking Classic.

Forged for work.

Perfected for war.

Among the most iconic weapons of the Viking Age, the Bearded Axe earned its reputation as a versatile tool and a fearsome battlefield companion. Used for everything from felling timber to close-quarters combat, its distinctive extended lower blade provided greater control, hooking ability and cutting power.

The Hanwei Bearded Axe – Antiqued faithfully recreates this legendary design with outstanding historical accuracy and modern craftsmanship. Fully functional and hand forged, it features a forged carbon steel head with a sharp tempered 6-inch cutting edge, finished in an authentic antiqued style that captures the appearance of a well-used Viking weapon.

The solid 30.5-inch hardwood shaft is tapered to provide Hanwei's traditional slip-fit construction, creating a secure and dependable fit while remaining true to historical originals.

Weighing 1,980g, this impressive axe offers superb balance and presence, making it equally at home in a historical collection, re-enactment display or fantasy armoury.

Built for the North.

Forged to endure.
