Viking Splitting Axe

Our Viking Splitting Axes have been expertly crafted using the highest-quality materials, and are available in three sizes. The head has been forged using a special Railroad Steel to achieve the "Petersen Type M" shape associated with the Viking Age, but also make the axe tough enough to split wood. The shaft has been hand-crafted from Ash, and sculpted to give added grip when chopping or splitting kindling. Then finished with our signature beeswax and linseed oil blend, which helps protect, aids in grip and brings out the wood's natural grain. Each axe is supplied with a hand-sewn leather sheath that connects with push buttons for quick and easy removal.

These axes have a wedge shaped blade, specially designed to withstand the impact created by splitting wood. The wedge shaped head will also aid in forcing the wood to split as the axe travels through. These are an attempt to recreate axes likely used in the Viking Age.
