18 Inch Hand Forged Viking Axe High Carbon Steel Blade with Ash Wood Handle

This hand forged Viking axe is a striking blend of traditional blacksmithing and modern durability. Measuring 18 inches in total length, it features a finely shaped ash wood handle for strength and balance. The blade is crafted from high carbon steel with a 5-inch cutting edge, sharpened to a razor finish for precision and performance. After forging, the steel is normalized to refine its grain structure, then edge hardened and tempered to achieve both toughness and long-lasting sharpness. This process creates a blade with excellent durability and edge retention, making it a reliable Viking battle axe for outdoor use or collection. The heat treatment is carefully controlled, reaching up to 1500 degrees before quenching the edge in oil, ensuring superior hardness and resilience. Each axe is unique, with subtle handmade characteristics that make it one of a kind. A high-quality leather sheath is included for safe storage and transport. Perfect for collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts, this replica Viking axe embodies the power and artistry of Viking war axes, offering functionality, strength, and timeless design
