Viking Broad Axe – 5-Foot Long Axe Replica
Description
This 5-foot Viking broad axe draws on the Langeid axe from early-11th-century southern Norway, with an added Elder Futhark rune engraving flowing along the curve of the carbon-steel blade.
- Head: hand-forged Petersen Type M axe head with a sharp edge, heat-treated to 55–58 HRC and secured to the shaft with pins and heavy industrial wood glue.
- Shaft: single-piece aged hardwood, 5' long, capped at the end with a pure copper sheet and secured with copper rivets.
