Product description
The bearded axe or skeggøx (Old Norse skegg for beard and øx for axe) has been used in Scandinavia since the 6th century as a tool and as a weapon. The "beard" provided a longer edge without much extra weight, and in combat you could use it to pull away your opponent's shield or weapon.
This forged bearded axe has a head of carbon steel on a sturdy ash wood shaft. The edge is lightly sharpened. The head is deliberately left unpolished, so the black patina gives the axe a rustic, authentic appearance.
This weapon is intended for collectors, as decoration and as a historical accessory for re-enactment and living history. The blade is not suitable for fighting or sparring.
