Freyja's Battle Axe
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Freyja's Battle Axe
Freyja's Battle Axe has been beautifully crafted using the highest-quality materials. The head is forged from carbon steel to achieve the iconic "bearded" shape associated with the Vikings. The "beard" has been forged shorter than typical and features an elongated "point" - which is ideal for "thrusting" the axe in close quarters, whilst remaining light enough to throw when needed.
This axe is similar to our Freyja's Skeggox but features a longer shaft and larger axe head.
The axe has been finished with our signature microcrystalline and mineral 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 is traditionally tied.

Inspirational Design
At the heart of our throwing axes lies a meticulously forged head, crafted from high-quality carbon steel.

With its sleek curves and formidable edge, this head is designed for precision and power, ensuring every throw is as accurate as it is forceful.
But the craftsmanship doesn't stop there. The shaft of our throwing axes is handcrafted from Rosewood, a wood prized for its strength, durability, and rich natural beauty. Each shaft is expertly shaped and finished with our signature blend of beeswax and linseed oil. This unique blend not only enhances the wood's natural grain but also provides protection and grip, ensuring that your axe feels like an extension of your arm with every throw.

This sheath is not just a practical accessory but a work of art in its own right, designed to protect your axe when not in use.

WHAT IS A THROWING AXE?
Throwing axes have a rich history as weapons spanning from antiquity through the medieval ages.
Often wielded by foot soldiers and occasionally by mounted cavalry, these axes were hurled in an overhand motion, spinning gracefully through the air until the blade struck its target. Mastering this technique required considerable skill and practice.
In modern times, axe throwing has evolved into a highly popular sport, originating in Canada. This ancient practice has found new life as enthusiasts from all walks of life embrace the challenge and excitement of hitting the mark with precision and finesse.
CARING FOR YOUR AXE
Our axes come with a small tin of our special linseed oil and beeswax blend, ensuring they're treated before they even reach you.
Although high carbon steel offers exceptional durability, it's not completely water-resistant. To maintain your axe's pristine condition, it's essential to regularly apply oil or our wax blend. This simple care routine ensures your axe remains in top-notch shape, keeping it looking its best for years to come.
Please Note: Not all axes are made for chopping wood. Wood chopping axes have a specially designed widened axe blade to withstand the forces applied with splitting wood. Using an axe in any manner other than that it has been designed for can result in damage.
