Collection: Viking Axe For Sale

Viking Axe For Sale: Our designs at Drakka are influenced by medieval attire from the past. This Viking axe  was one of the strongest and most effective offensive weapons a Viking warrior could possess. The Vikings designed their swords primarily to wield with one hand, while they held a shield in the other hand. In addition to being a weapon, a sword often symbolized wealth and power.

As early as the sixth century A.D., people used Skeggx, a term originating from Old Norse "Skegg" meaning "beard" and "x" meaning "axe," to refer to various axes utilized as tools and weapons. The Scandinavians of the Viking Age are primarily associated with Skeggx. They produced most of these axes locally, but some came by way of import from the Frankish Empire. Moreover, the Vikings adorned some blades with pattern welding and embellished the hilt with precious stones. They highly polished the blade, which is etched with runes that translate to "sword of kings."

The Evolution of Viking Axes: From Early Axes to Brei-x

Norsemen typically carried Viking axes capable of crushing the head when thrown or swung. The Mammen Axe is a well-known example of a throwing and melee-optimized axe. Wrought iron constituted the majority of the head in most axes, whereas the cutting edge was made of steel. During the early part of the Viking era, the length of the cutting edge was typically 7–15 centimeters (3-6 inches), whereas later on, axes grew considerably larger. Brei-x (broad axes) had crescent-shaped edges ranging in length from 22 to 45 cm (9 to 18 in). The longest cutting edge on the largest axe head pictured on the right is 22 centimeters (9 inches) long.
