Description: Viking Bearded Axe + Sheath (X2043N) Historically Accurate, Fully Functional, Antiqued 24.5" Overall, 3.75" Blade Length Paul Chen | Hanwei Forge⚔️ These Hanwei short axes, replicating Viking weapons, are made to withstand throwing, with forged heads and hardened edges. They are well balanced, competition approved and fully functional . The Bearded Axe provided a concentration of power behind a relatively short cutting edge, ideal for punching through any armor of the period in close combat. The Short Viking Axe was useful both on the farm and in battle. It excelled as a close quarters weapon, while still being light enough to throw when necessary. See 3rd photo to compare size & weight of various Hanwei | Paul Chen axes. Comments: Perfect balance of size, functionality & price compared to the other historical axes available from Hanwei. All these are very well made, especially at this price; a fraction of the cost the TV series replicas, plus fully functional.You can see from the photos how heavy duty the axe-head is. Looks completely authentic, and the antiquing provides a weathered look that makes it even more realistic. I carry mine on my belt when I wear my Viking tunic at special events, and I filed the handle to dress it up and improve the grip. People like to customize these too with carving or by wrapping the head and handle with rawhide. I'm a collector and a weekend warrior, active in my local HEMA group. I list what I own and can personally recommend, plus I try to do photos and give detailed information that help buyers make informed decisions. I appreciate your support!
