Best Viking axes

Viking axe was a very common type of tool and weapon in medieval Scandinavian countries. Vikings used axes it to build ships, houses, carts and other objects as well as used them in a battle. However, the design ofbattle axes and farm axes were different. Battle axes usually were light and fast so that they can be used for throwing and a speedy attack. Farm axes were relatively bigger as they were used for chopping the wood. Our store provides battle viking axes as well as gift viking axes. Some of the axes can be made as a custom axes by adding your name, initials or any other symbols on a handle or head.

OUR WORKSHOP

We are a collaboration of two workshops from Ukraine and Poland, located in Lviv and Krakow. On the picture you can see one of our workshop which is located in Lviv. We forge our axes, swords, maces and make shields there. Our team consists of 5 people who have different roles. Andrey and Vasyl forge the axe and swords. Nikolay and Ivan make engravings on the handles and makes other wooden goods such as statues. Andrew is responsible for sales and our media accounts.

PROCESS OF FORGING AND ETCHING THE AXES

Making the axes that you see on our pictures take a lot of time and effort. The process consist of forging, etching and making the handle. Firstly, we take the premade piece of steel, glow it to 1150°С and give it the needed shape. We leave it for some time. Then, we make the etching or engraving on the axe head (depending on the model). Lastly, we carve the handle from the birch wood. As a result, you can see the pictures of our works in the profile.
