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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPQR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54134803693896,"sku":"SPQR-WP301","price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2892\/7560\/files\/spqr-wp301_axt_bartaxt_karbonstahl_unpoliert_mittelalter.jpg?v=1790318477","url":"https:\/\/www.celticwebmerchant.co.uk\/products\/spqr-baardbijl-skeggox-semi-scherp","provider":"Celtic WebMerchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
