This traditional Viking-style bearded axe is made to look as though it came straight off the battle field during the middle ages. The carbon steel axe head has been heat treated for a blackened finish, and the blade is sharpened to perfection. The handle is made out of sheesham heartwood, and it has been sanded to a smooth contoured finish that allows an excellent grip. Overall Length: 20.5 inches, Blade Length: 5.5 inches *Please note that the color of the handle may appear darker in images.
