Hand-Forged Viking Bearded Axe Head – Norse Skeggøx Battle Axe

Description

Experience the world of the Northmen with this authentic Viking bearded axe head, that once stood as a symbol of both survival and strength. Referred to as the Skeggøx (beard axe) in Old Norse, its distinct extended lower blade gave warriors the advantage of hooking shields, unbalancing foes, and delivering powerful strikes.

Each axe head is individually hand-forged from durable carbon steel, carrying the resilience and character that defined Viking craftsmanship. Unlike uniform factory-made replicas, no two pieces are exactly alike—every head bears its own unique marks of the forge. The edge is intentionally blunted, making it perfectly suited for reenactments, stage combat, and LARP events, while still preserving the look and spirit of a genuine weapon of war.

Its rustic surface recalls a battle-worn tool fresh from a Norse smithy, adding authenticity to your collection or reenactment kit. Whether you are a historical reenactor, collector, or Viking enthusiast, this Viking Bearded Axe Head delivers the ideal combination of authentic design, strength, and heritage appeal.
