Product description

This axe head is modeled after various early medieval examples. This type of axe head is classified as Petersen Type I. The blade is thicker, shorter, and less sharp than Type H. Axes of this type were highly functional and were likely originally developed for woodworking. They were in use from around 900 to 1000 AD.

This combat-ready axe head is hand-forged. The cutting edge is blunt and the corners are rounded.

The blade is 15.5 cm long, up to 9.7 cm wide, with a cutting edge thickness of 3–4 mm. The eye for the haft measures 35 × 24 mm. Weight: 900 grams.
