This viking throwing axe is inspired by Norse warriors. The axe head is hand forged from carbon steel and has visible forging marks and a darkened finish that gives it an authentic, rugged look. The cutting edge is shaped in Viking style, inspired by axes used between the 8th and 11th centuries.

Its light natural finish shows the grain of the wood.
The lower grip is wrapped in genuine leather. This gives :
- Improved use and control

Throwing axes played an important role in Viking life. Vikings used various types of axes for close combat, ranged attacks, and practical tasks. In battle, lighter axes could be thrown at enemies before engaging in hand-to-hand combat. These were valued for their effectiveness and versatility.
Axes were also used for woodworking, shipbuilding, and survival tasks. The throwing viking axe became a symbol of strength and skill in Norse culture.
