Product description
Braid your skegg (beard) and don your Spangenhelm, because this Viking-inspired axe is designed to provoke your inner wanderlust. The handsomely finished handle is engraved with an elder Futhark Othala (ᛟ) rune, associated with inheritance and ancestral land, to remind you of your home as you conquer new territories. This is an heirloom quality set, complete with a hand-forged skinning knife and wooden display/storage box engraved with knotwork and Norse dragons.
The axe: The narrow-bladed axe head is reminiscent of Viking-era bearded axes found all over Norway and enables this axe to perform as a stout chopper that’s light enough to be used with one hand if desired. The American Hickory haft is stained deep brown. It features a groove that runs most of its length and is accented at the ends with brass tacks. The leather grip has been given an aged finish to look “experienced”. This set includes a leather blade cover for safe carry.
The knife: The mini skinner has a rough forged finish and is creatively hand-shaped with a ring grip that finishes with an artistic curlicue at the end. The leather sheath for this knife is provided with a leather thong long enough for neck, waist or shoulder carry.
The Box: Inside, the bottom of the wooden box is lined with black velvet. Two leather straps buckle your axe safely in place and the box’s brass hinges and clasp locks are antiqued.

This item is produced in limited quantities only. This means that every piece is unique. Sizes & finish may vary lightly from piece to piece.
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
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.
