Cas Hanwei Short Bearded Axe Antiqued

This Hanwei short axe, replicating Viking weapons, is made to withstand throwing, with forged heads and hardened edges. It is well balanced and competition approved. The Short Bearded Axe provides a concentration of power behind a relatively short cutting edge, ideal for punching through any armour 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. Specs will vary slightly from piece to piece. 3 3/4" bl, 25 1/2” ov.
