Hand-Forged Viking Axe | High Carbon Steel Etched Blade with Leather Wrapped Handle

Bring home a true masterpiece of craftsmanship with this Hand-Forged Viking Axe, designed with a high carbon steel etched blade and a traditional leather-wrapped handle. Measuring 18 inches in handle length with a 5.5-inch head and a sharp 6.5-inch cutting edge, this axe is both a functional weapon and a striking collectible. Each blade is oil-tempered to 58–60 HRC and sharpened at 20 degrees, ensuring a razor-sharp edge that holds up under heavy use. Unlike mass-produced tools, this axe is 100% handmade—crafted without CNC machining—so every piece carries unique characteristics that reflect its artisan origins.

The high carbon steel construction allows the axe to maintain an exceptional edge, making it ideal for hunting, skinning, or even tactical and reenactment purposes. However, carbon steel requires care, as exposure to blood, acidic liquids, or long storage in a sheath may cause tarnishing. The acid-etched finish helps protect the blade from rust while adding a stunning visual appeal. To maintain its quality, clean with soap and water after use, dry thoroughly, coat with light oil, and store outside the sheath. Whether you’re a collector, history enthusiast, or Viking admirer, this axe is not only a tool but also a work of art worthy of display.
