AX152 - Viking battle axe - 110€

Cutting tools of the Vikings commonly doubled as weapons of war when these famed raiders sailed on pillaging forays. Their axes were certainly top of the list and came to symbolize the terror spread among their foes. Varying greatly in size, from small throwing axes to the mighty Danish Axe, these were the most commonly used weapons of these Nordic warriors. Our Viking Axe is a typical pattern, capable of cleaving helms or armour with impunity.

Length 89cm, blade 22cm, weigth 2kg. Forged and tempered blade. A leather scabbard protecting the cutting edge comes along. Paul Chen made.

AX150 - Mammen axe - 110€

The axe, inherited from the Frank’s wars with the Romans, remained an ever-present Viking weapon. It also demonstrated the Scandinavian genius for evolving specialized weaponry. The smaller axes are sized to be carried thrust through a belt, to serve as a backup weapon and being one-handed, they were used in combination with a shield. The Mammen Axe, one of the best-known and best-decorated examples of the small Viking throwing axe, is a perfect example of the Viking’s blend of art and war. Excavated from a famous 10th century barrow near Mammen, Denmark, the original is decorated with silver-inlaid engraving in the typical Celtic manner.

Length 45cm, blade 10cm. Forged, engreaved and tempered blade. Paul Chen made.

AX154 - Francisque - 90€

The Francisca, so named for its Frankish origins, was used by the Vikings both as a throwing weapon and for close-quarters combat. Its graceful lines are legendary but the upswept point and downturned edge were both capable of penetrating chain mail. Our Francisca features a forged head with a fire-gray finish and a swelled-end hardwood shaft for secure head retention.
