Product description
This Viking axe is a replica of a 10th century original excavated in Gotland. Viking axes with an open axe blade are excavated all over North Europe. The blade is open to reduce the weight; it had the same function as the fuller had for a sword blade. Axes like this were exclusively used for warfare.

Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result.
