Vikings TV Series Axe

[nicksison]

I really like the axes on the the TV series Vikings. Does anyone know who makes something similar that can be used.

H&B can probably make you one. They made me a Danish Mammen style Viking axe and it turned out great.

That looks good but I wanted a beard on the axe.

You know I think I saw one made by Legacy Arms called the viking axe. It was pretty darn close in my opinion, just the thickness might be off.

They looked too overly heavy and bulky and the head-to-haft fit looks terrible.

That is a beard. What you want is an axe with a jaw, often mistakenly called a beard. A beard points up away from the haft. A jaw turns back under the haft. But tell someone you want a jawed axe and they'll look at you strange and ask, "you mean a bearded axe?"

Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

Curious to see how long the leather would last with heavy use.

 

[Shirk24]

Just ask him - I had a similar leather wrapping and it hold up some time. The good thing is that - because of the nails - not the whole strap comes down if damaged.

H&B, nice looking axes!

I love all things Vikings! Blood Eagle Death, Anyone?

Good that you mentioned that Square Peg. Even about 95% of the books incorrectly call a jawed axe a bearded axe. Very hard to convince folk of this fact though.

Blood eagle death? Nasty stuff there. I always thought it was a dagger or a sword they used though...

Those have some great "Jaws". Thanks for posting that great information.

"I love all things Vikings!"

I married one. And yes, she is pretty hot, but has an unnatural attachment to her throwing axe. When I manage to get her mad at me, I always sleep very lightly!

 

[Cajun Kamikaze]

Right! I guess it's easier to separate the ribs with the axe...

My Grandmother is from Scandinavia! Maybe that's why I've always been fascinated with blades and axes LOL

Something like this perhaps?
