Product description
The Viking throwing axe is a replica of several historical originals. The axe head is classified as a Petersen Type A. Blades of this type were slender and were possibly originally developed for woodworking, though they were also employed in warfare. This type of axe was likely made between 800 and 850 AD, whilst some sources suggest it remained in use until as late as 1050 AD.
The throwing axe is fully functional and has been constructed with considerable robustness. The axe head is crafted from carbon steel with a hardness of 52 HRC. It has been antiqued to give it an authentically aged appearance, closely resembling the originals.
The axe features a hardwood handle and measures 44.5 cm in length. The blade is 8.2 cm long, and the axe weighs 567 grams.
