Ragnar Viking Bearded Camping Dane Battle Axe Throwing Hatchet Survival Tomahawk

Description

Contrary to popular depiction, the war axe is not a brutishly wielded device of destruction used only in wild swings to smash the foe asunder. The cunning Viking could use the long lower half of the axe, the ‘’beard’’ for a number of tricks - he could use it to hook behind the ankle of head of the foe and throw him off balance. A shield could be hooked and pulled from his grip and some even used to axe to hook into the wall of a wooden palisade and pull themselves over the walls with their axe handles! The tips if sharpened, could pierce and gouge. Clearly the axe of war was a sophisticated tool giving its wielder a wide range of options to win his fight.
This Viking Axe has a thick,
Sharp
high carbon steel head + leather sheath. The haft is of wood and the head is held in place by spiraled leather affixing the head to shaft. The leather has been pinned to the wood in several places. Glue has also been used to bond the head to the haft. Perfect as a functional axe for test cutting and or making fire wood and of course wearing to your next SCA/Ren Fair event.
