Viking Axes

VIKING AXE stands for bravery, strength, and audacity from throughout the history. It is a reminder of heritage and the accomplishments of ancestors who bent the world to their will using only what they had. Looking in the past shows that viking axe was a very common type of tool and weapon in medieval Scandinavian countries. Vikings used these axes to build their ships, houses, carts and other objects as well as used them in a battle. As the time changes everything in different forms, the design of battle axes and farm axes are also changed now a days. Battle axes usually were light and fast so that they can be used for throwing and a speedy attack. Farm axes were relatively bigger as they were used for chopping the wood.

Viking axes ranged in size from hand axes (similar to tomahawks) to long-shafted battle axes. Unlike the axes usually depicted in fantasy illustrations, Viking axes were single-bitted (to make them faster and more maneuverable). Viking axes were sometimes “bearded,” which is to say that the lower portion of the axe head was hook-shaped to facilitate catching and pulling shield rims or limbs.
