Types of Viking Axes: Features and Characteristics

The Viking axes were an essential part of Viking's weaponry. Some of them, also known as "Danish axes," were an early type of polearm. Viking craftsmen designed other axes specifically for close combat, utilizing shorter edges to achieve greater success in penetrating enemy armor. It's worth noting that Viking throwing axes did not have a singular use. They found their way onto farms as well. Additionally, they were employed for various chores in addition to chopping wood for ships. We stock a variety of Norse axes, such as Danish axes, Viking throwing axes, mammen axes, bearded axes, and Franciscan axes. In addition, we also offer replica Viking weapons inspired by the popular television series about the legendary Viking Ragnar Lothbrok.
