PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Mammen Axe
Our Mammen Axe has been beautifully crafted using the highest quality materials. The head has been forged using carbon steel to achieve the iconic shape associated with the famous Mammen grave from the Viking Age. The shaft has been hand-crafted from Rosewood and 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 leather ties for a more authentic fastening.
This is our variation of the axe found at the Mammen burial, where we kept the iconic axe shape and paired it with our logo.

WHAT IS THE MAMMEN AXE?
This is our variation of the axe found at the Mammen burial. Where we have kept the iconic axe shape and paired it with our Logo.
The axe head that was found, is one of the most remarkable find from the Viking Age. The iron axe head is beautifully carved in the "Mammen" art style, which had been inlayed with silver. One side features a tree motif (possibly Yggdrasil) and the other a complex beast design.
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.
