Hand-Forged Viking Bearded Axe

Description

Wield the essence of Norse warfare with this Viking Bearded Axe, a weapon steeped in tradition and handcrafted skill. Known for its different lower blade extension, or “beard,” this axe allowed Viking warriors to hook shields, shape wood and deliver precise strikes.
Each axe is hand-forged from solid steel, shaped and hammered to preserve the rugged texture of historical blades. The surface has subtle forge marks which are a proof of its handcrafted origin while the broad cutting edge provides functionality true to its 11th-century inspiration.

Whether carried by seafarers or craftsmen, such woods ensured balance and resilience during longer uses. At it’s length, this axe offers reach and control while remaining suitable for display, costuming or light use.
Constructed using the traditional wedge-and-pin method, this axe avoids adhesives just like the Viking-era. The result is a tool that feels as honest as the hands that shaped it.

Whether mounted above a hearth, wielded at a historical gathering, or gifted to an admirer of Norse heritage, this axe carries the spirit of the Viking Age raw, functional and forged for legacy.
