When it comes to axe enthusiasts, the Swedes are the world's greatest, and Gransfors Bruks is one of their finest forges. Each axe is carefully forged by an experienced smith who shows his pride in his work by stamping his initials on the head next to the company logo and each smith is introduced in the 36 page booklet that accompanies every Gransfors Bruks axe. After forging, each blade is ground to a 25 degree bevel and honed to a razor edge. Each axe is fitted with a tight-grained hickory handle and provided with a grain-leather sheath with snap fastener.

Cold Steel Viking Axe - A Formidable Weapon

Cold Steel has been a long time believer in the ferocious cutting power of a well-designed Viking Axe. The Cold Steel Viking Axe's formidably long, thin blade is fully polished and hand sharpened to a bone-splitting, shield shattering edge. It comes with a robust 10" cutting surface that terminates in two sharp horns or points. Traditionally, the longer top point was used for stabbing, gouging, or parrying, while the slightly shorter bottom point was used to capture an opponent's shield or to hook and immobilize his neck, arms, or legs.

To maximize leverage, strength, and dexterity of movement, the Viking Axe is equipped with a very strong, resilient haft. Made in Maine from the best hickory available, it enhances and amplifies the Viking Axe's lethal potential as a cutting, chopping and stabbing weapon.

Specifications: Overall Length: 52", Hawk Length: 9 5/8", Primary Edge: 10 1/3", Steel: 1055 Carbon, Weight: 4 Lbs. 10 oz., Handle: 48" Long. Hickory.
