Carry the look and weight of a true Norseman's tool. This 18-inch bearded axe is hand-forged from high carbon steel with a deep blackened finish, a wide 5-inch razor edge, and a balanced ash wood handle finished with genuine leather wraps at the grip and throat.

Every piece is made by hand in Wazirabad, so no two are identical. The handle is fire-scorched for grain contrast and laser-burned with Elder Futhark runes, giving it that authentic Viking camp aesthetic you see in the photo. The included vegetable-tanned leather sheath is hand-stitched, tooled at the border, and snap-secured for safe carry.

Perfect for bushcraft, camping, splitting kindling, backyard chopping, cosplay, or as a display gift for a groomsman, father, or collector.
