Axe rings for Viking axes

We have traditional axe rings for carrying Viking axes on your belt. With an axe ring, you’ll alway have your axe quickly at hand and will not have to carry it around in your hands. Our rings are suitable for throwing axes as well as for traditional lumberjack axes.

 

Replacing the axe shaft

For practical or decorative reasons, you might want to replace your axe handle for a different or larger shaft. The axe shaft is just as important as the axe itself. For making Viking Dane Axes, we have large ash wood axe shafts suitable for reenactment battles.

 

Removing the axe shaft

Remove the entire axe shaft by removing it from the axe socket with a tool. If necessary, you can put the axe in the fire, but be careful, as this can cause the hardness of the steel to change. Especially when you want to use the axe for woodworking it is best to avoid doing this.

 

Applying a new axe shaft

First, cut the new axe handle to the size of the axehead socket. An axe shaft almost never fits by itself, so this will require woodworking tools. After the shaft is in place, you can place one or two wedges at the front. This causes the wood to expand, keeping the axehead in place. You can also fasten the axe shaft with nails.
