Cold Steel®'s Viking Battle Axe is intended to be used as a stand-alone weapon, but it can be paired effectively with a sword,

shield or long sax.  It's a cutting, chopping, stabbing dynamo that any Viking worth his salt would envy.

It's drop forged and features a wide, curved cutting edge that terminates in horns or points on the ends. This means you can stab

parry or hook shields or limbs with ease.

Like Cold Steel®'s Viking Bearded Axe, it comes with a premium 76 cm long American hickory handle which is long enough to

accommodate two-handed use!

1055 High Carbon Steel
The carbon content and lean alloy of this shallow hardening steel make this a very sturdy material that avoids a lot of the

brittleness commonly associated with higher carbon materials. Particularly suited to blades requiring impact resistance, it's often

seen in large fixed blades and swords.
