Viking Axes

The Viking Axe: More Than Just a Tool

The axe was definitely not only a weapon but a tool of war and a symbol of power, resourcefulness, and survival for the Vikings. While for the Vikings the sword might have been a status symbol, the Viking axe is the trusty sidekick of a warrior—a reliable, effective, and deadly one. BladesNest manages to bring every of these qualities into the very axe it produces so that you can choose, as a collector or enthusiast, just the right mix of history and craftsmanship in our products.

The Unique Attraction of a Viking Axe

A Viking axe differs from other types of axes due to the simplicity of design and savagery in its efficiency. The Vikings prefer their raids using axes because they are lighter compared to swords, easier to handle, and can be used not only for battle and even chopping wood for household use.

To any Viking, a Viking axe would be history within reach. That’s exactly what we are accomplishing at BladesNest with the attention to the historical accuracy and durability that Viking blacksmiths employed centuries ago.

Exploring Various Types of Viking Axes

There are many varieties of Viking axes, which may sometimes confuse you. To introduce you to the styles of the products we have, we will break down the most famous ones below.

Viking War Axe

Iconically brutal in efficiency, the Viking war axe was designed to deliver quick powerful swings capable of cleaving shields and armor. These axes were inevitable in the shorter hafts for nimbleness, while devastating blows were possible with the long blade. Perfect for those wanting a battle-ready axe, our war axes are replicas of actual Viking designs combining historical accuracy with unmatched craftsmanship.

Bearded Viking Axe

One of the most popular styles is the bearded Viking axe. Due to such design where a lower part of the blade extends further than an upper part, warriors could hook onto shields, weapons, and even limbs. Our axes with beards reflect the traditional design as well, offering aesthetic and tactical functionality.

Viking Battle Axe

Craftsmanship Behind the Blades: Nest Viking Axes

Each Viking axe at BladesNest is handcrafted by well-trained blacksmiths; these blacksmiths combine traditional techniques with modern materials, producing axes that honor Viking craftsmanship and deliver superior durability. Here’s what goes into every axe we produce:

Forged Steel Blades

Axes can even boast blades from high-carbon steel: robust, tough, and razor-sharp. Individual forging, heat-treatment, and sharpening of every blade deliver a cutting edge that proves its worth in both combat and practical applications.

Wooden Handles

A Viking axe handle is an equal element to the blade. We use really solid hardwoods such as ash and hickory, to produce durability and a comfortable grip. We shape each handle for balance and ease of use, be it swinging around in battle or throwing in the field.

How to Maintain Your Viking Axe

The Viking axe should be kept in proper shape by frequent maintenance. Here’s how:

Clean the Blade After Use

The moisture or debris that becomes after each use should be wiped off the blade to prevent rust and extend the life of the blade.

Grease the Handle

Every now and then, the wooden handgrip needs to be oiled so that the wood remains moist and does not crack out or dry out with time.

Keep Properly

Store your axe in a cool, dry place. If possible, keep it in a protective sheath to prevent accidental damage to the blade.

Everyone who buys an axe from BladesNest is purchasing history, as a little history goes into every Viking axe they sell.
