Viking Great Axe

Viking Great Axe Cold Steel has been a long time believer in the ferocious cutting power of a well-designed Viking Axe. Until recently, they lacked the technical ability to make one to their satisfaction. However, with their new state-of-the-art forging facility, they can offer the customers something truly exceptional. The Viking Great Axe's formidably long, thin blade is fully polished and hand sharpened to a bone-splitting, shield shattering edge. It comes with a robust approx. 25.4 cm cutting surface that terminates in two sharp horns or points. Traditionally, the longer top point was used for stabbing, gouging, or parrying, while the slightly shorter bottom point was used to capture an opponent's shield or to hook and immobilize his neck, arms, or legs. To maximize leverage, strength, and dexterity of movement, the Viking Axe is equipped with a very strong, resilient haft. Made in Maine from the best hickory available, it enhances and amplifies the Viking Axe's lethal potential as a cutting, chopping and stabbing weapon.

Viking Bloodaxe

Many modern fans of Norse culture are quick to point out that, contrary to popular belief, not all Norsemen were brutal warriors. According to many amateur and actual historians the pop culture depictions of Vikings as thugs are inaccurate, misleading, and borderline offensive. The Norse were a noble people with a culture rich in art and tradition, not bloodthirsty killers.Then there is Eric Bloodaxe.The full tale of Eric Haraldsson is a convoluted tale. Much of what we know comes from the Viking sagas composed centuries after his death, and the contemporary accounts of his life are mixed and conflicting. Even the origins of his nickname – “The Bloodaxe” are uncertain – was he named so because of his victories in Viking raids? Or due to the murders he committed against his family?Born in 885 CE, Eric was favoured son of King Harald Finehair of Norway. Which was fortunate, as Eric reportedly murdered most of his brothers during his rise to power. According to the sagas, Eric was so fearsome a warrior that by the age of 12 he was given several ships and embarked on a series of Viking raids and pirating expeditions, raiding as far away as Wales, Italy, and northern Russia. As he grew older and was marked to succeed his father the strife with his brothers reached a fever-pitch. Numerous bloody battles were fought until Eric emerged as one of the only surviving members of his family; when Harald died in 930 CE Eric succeeded him as king – for a time.By some of the reports available we can infer Eric Bloodaxe’s rule was harsh, despotic, and wildly unpopular with his nobles and his people alike. Thus, when his younger half brother Haakon (known as “Haakon the Good,” a sharp contrast with his elder brother) returned from being fostered in England there was a brief but likely memorable coup resulting in Eric fleeing to England and Haakon ascending the throne sometime in late 933, early 934 CE.Apparently impressing the English king Athelstan, Eric was granted the rule of Northumbria, a notoriously difficult area to rule. This is according to the Sagas, however – some English sources suggest this was a hostile takeover. Due to political turmoil (and possibly his legendary temper) Eric’s rule was a time of strife in the kingdom. He reigned for two separate periods (947–948 CE, 952–954 CE) before his life was ended by betrayal. In 954 CE Eric was fleeing Northumbria after his latest attempt to successfully rule fell to pieces. One of Eric’s officials and companions, a man named Osulf, reportedly conspired with the warrior Maccus, and Eric Bloodaxe was ambushed and killed in the mountains of north west England. Despite this ignoble end (and a convoluted and disputed history), Eric Bloodaxe remains one of the more popular characters from Viking lore.This latest axe by Darksword Armory is an homage to the legend and character of Eric Bloodaxe. The head is of a common variety often see in Viking artwork and surviving artifacts, with a long cutting edge and a dropped back point. The reverse of the head is a solid, chisel-shaped hammer, ensuring that regardless of which side is used to strike the axe will be devastatingly effective. The metal is blackened to reduce the dangers of rust, and the long wooden shaft is wrapped in leather strips to give it a savage, battle-worn appearance. This axe is a highly effective and beautiful piece from Darksword Armory, and we invite you to add it to your collection – though we ask that it not be used to live up to the name of Eric Haraldsson.

The Gudrun Viking Axe

Norse Viking axes were not merely tools of war but symbols of prowess and status, integral to the identity of the Viking warrior. Crafted with exceptional skill, these axes were renowned for their deadly efficiency in battle and their versatility for various tasks, from woodcutting to combat. Typically featuring a single, curved blade attached to a long wooden haft, Viking axes came in different shapes and sizes, each tailored to suit different combat styles and preferences. Some featured long handles for extended reach and powerful strikes, while others were shorter and more maneuverable for close-quarters combat. The heads of these axes were often elaborately decorated, showcasing intricate patterns or symbolic designs that reflected the owner’s lineage, allegiance, or devotion to Norse gods. In battle, Viking warriors wielded their axes with ferocity, relying on their strength, skill, and the fear they instilled in their enemies to achieve victory on the battlefield. Even in times of peace, the axe remained a cherished possession, a testament to the valor and honor of its wielder in the rugged world of the Norse Vikings. Beyond combat, Viking axes were essential for practical tasks such as woodcutting, shipbuilding, and farming, embodying the resilience and resourcefulness of the Norse people in their harsh and unforgiving environment. As symbols of strength, courage, and independence, Viking axes represented the very essence of the Viking spirit, revered by warriors and cherished by their communities alike. The Axe is named after Gudrun, A legendary hero in Norse mythology, known for his role in the Völsunga saga.

Viking Beard Axe

The axe is one of the first tools to be manufactured by humankind. The simplicity of its construction and its inherent versatility means that axes have been an integral part of every human culture. Axes however are associated to the Vikings more than any other group of warriors. Axes were a vital part of Viking life, as evidenced by archaeological digs at Viking sites. However, it's important to understand that the basis of Viking life was not raping and pillaging, but agriculture. Axes were an essential farming and household tool. As they did with all of their weapons, Vikings usually named their axes, often naming them after she-trolls. However, axes never had the same cultural significance to Viking warriors as swords and spears did. The Viking axe was not a sacred weapon but an immensely practical one; something that could be for combat but was most commonly called on for simple domestic or agricultural duties. In war however, the Viking axe was a devastating weapons in hand-to-hand combat, capable of splitting a man's skull, or thrown against an opponent’s shield. Around the 10th century, the Vikings developed the weapon known as the Dane Axe. This is that huge, terrifying battle axe that we commonly associate with Vikings. Its shaft could be as long as six feet, and the head had a cutting surface of up to twelve inches. The head of the Dane Axe was extremely thin, with thicknesses as narrow as 2mm along the edge of the blade. With a lightweight design, these were easy to swing and provided a wide radius of destruction with little risk to the axe getting stuck, although they were not as useful in hand-to-hand combat as the smaller hand axe. Although associated with Vikings - the Dane Axe still appears on the state coat of arms of Norway - the Dane Axe was actually most popular in England, where it continued to be used into the 16th century, long after the influence of the Vikings had waned.

Fenrir Viking Axe

You can’t read about Norse mythology without coming across the concept of Ragnarök. A catastrophic, world ending conflict, Ragnarök is the pinnacle event of Viking mythology and features in multiple versions of surviving legends. Not only will the world perish in fire as a result of this climactic battle, but multiple Viking gods- including Odin, Loki, Heimdall, Thor, and Tyr – are fated to meet their end. Ragnarök literally means “The Twilight of the Gods,” and the gods have known it is coming for thousands of years.Besides the Norse gods we know and love, other figures feature in this legend. One is the Midgard serpent Jörmungandr, who threatens to Devour the world and is killed by Thor – though the god of thunder loses his life as a result. Another character who appears that plays a role of great importance is Fenrir, the Great Wolf and offspring of Loki, who is fated to bring catastrophe upon the world.In the Norse writings Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, Fenrir’s place in the final days are described. A prophecy given to the Gods describes how Fenrir would devour the Sun, beginning Ragnarök, and slay Odin himself – which should be an indication of how deadly the creature is. In chapter 25 of the Prose Edda Fenrir is lured by the Gods into a trap designed to prevent him from beginning Ragnarök. Fearing Fenrir’s growing strength and seeking to delay the beginning of the Twilight of the Gods, the gods praised Fenrir’s great strength and invited him to test it against some magical bindings they had designed. While he broke the first two with ease, Fenrir distrusted the Gods and when the third binding was brought to him would only submit to test it should one of the gods place their right hand into his jaws. Only Tyr was brave enough to do so, and when the third binding prove to be unbreakable Fenrir bit down and took the god’s hand. Ever after Tyr would go one handed, and Fenrir remains bound until the ending of the world.Despite the fact that Fenrir is according to myth currently unable to harm the gods or the world, the future that awaits us should this great wolf escape is far from ideal. Fenrir will have grown to great size and ferocity in his captivity, his upper jaw touching the sky and his lower jaw reaching to the Earth. After devouring the sun and the father of the gods, Fenrir will only be defeated when Odin’s son Vithar – god of vengeance – grips the wolf’s jaws and rips him in half with all the strength of his rage and grief. The Earth will appear once again, joined by the surviving gods and two humans who will repopulate the world. Rising in the east, the daughter of the sun will take her place in the sky to give the world light and lead it into a future free of war and pain.The Darksword Armory Fenrir axe is inspired by this dark yet hopeful tale. Unlike our shorter axes this is a true war axe, nearly 4 ft from end to end. The hardwood handle is extended to provide extra reach and torque for powerful, helmet splitting blows. Leather wrap on the mid-handle improves the grip, while the tapered end of the handle creates a comfortable place for extending the reach of the weapon. The head of the axe is carefully inscribed with the visage of a ferocious wolf depicted with Norse knotwork, certainly one of our most beautiful axe designs. The steeply dropping edge of the bearded axe head creates a cutting edge nearly a foot long, which went backed by the significant weight of the weapon is truly fearsome. By bringing this axe into your home, you bring a piece of legend with it – while we sit and wait for the sun devourer, it will surely keep you safe.

Norse Viking Axe

The axe is one of the first tools to be manufactured by humankind. The simplicity of its construction and its inherent versatility means that axes have been an integral part of every human culture.Axes however are associated to the Vikings more than any other group of warriors. Axes were a vital part of Viking life, as evidenced by archaeological digs at Viking sites. However, it's important to understand that the basis of Viking life was not raping and pillaging, but agriculture. Axes were an essential farming and household tool. As they did with all of their weapons, Vikings usually named their axes, often naming them after she-trolls. However, axes never had the same cultural significance to Viking warriors as swords and spears did. The Viking axe was not a sacred weapon but an immensely practical one; something that could be for combat but was most commonly called on for simple domestic or agricultural duties. In war however, the Viking axe was a devastating weapons in hand-to-hand combat, capable of splitting a man's skull, or thrown against an opponent’s shield.Around the 10th century, the Vikings developed the weapon known as the Dane Axe. This is that huge, terrifying battle axe that we commonly associate with Vikings. Its shaft could be as long as six feet, and the head had a cutting surface of up to twelve inches. The head of the Dane Axe was extremely thin, with thicknesses as narrow as 2mm along the edge of the blade. With a lightweight design, these were easy to swing and provided a wide radius of destruction with little risk to the axe getting stuck, although they were not as useful in hand-to-hand combat as the smaller hand axe. Although associated with Vikings - the Dane Axe still appears on the state coat of arms of Norway - the Dane Axe was actually most popular in England, where it continued to be used into the 16th century, long after the influence of the Vikings had waned.

The “Birger” Viking Axe

The Midgard serpent Jörmungandr is a central component of Norse mythology, so much so that it extends both far into the past and far into our own future. Also known as the Midgard Serpent or the World Serpent, Jörmungandr was the offspring of the Norse god Loki, and appears in several Norse writings. The Prose Edda is the primary source for our knowledge about Jörmungandr, though many surviving skaldic poems make reference to this being especially as gods such as Thor encounter it in their adventures. Like Fenrir the wolf, Yggdrasil the world tree, and the gods themselves, Jörmungandr is one of the central features of Viking lore and is one of the beings that will begin the final battle of Ragnarök.Jörmungandr’s origins in Norse mythology are similar to the other children of Loki. Many ages ago, the importance of Loki’s three children – Jörmungandr, Fenrir, and the goddess Hel – was foretold. Odin, seeking to delay Ragnarök as long as possible, banished these three children from Asgard. Jörmungandr he cast deep into the ocean, where the great serpent would grow so massive that he would wrap around the entire planet in a huge circle. In most depictions of Jörmungandr, he is depicted in this pose encircling the world and biting the end of his tail like an Ouroboros, an ancient symbol found in many cultures from the early world. According to prophecy about the end of the world, when Jörmungandr releases the end of his tail from his jaws the final battle of the gods will begin. Jörmungandr and Thor are fated to fight each other to the death, and while Thor will kill the World Serpent it’s poison will corrupt the God of Thunder utterly – he will make it but nine paces away from his foe before falling. Certainly, not an end you will see in Marvel movies.The name Jörmungandr is an almost poetic title that likely means “The Vast Binding,” and similar to his brother Fenrir Jörmungandr spends the majority of world history bound but fated to be released one day. This is a recurring theme in Norse mythology, that great evils are prevented from harming our world but only for a short time. Ragnarök, and the end of all things, are inevitable. The only thing that prevents this is the actions the gods have taken to hold back the dark and protect us from the final battle for as long as they can.The Birger axe is inspired by the protection of the gods. A Peterson Type B/Wheeler III design, the axe head shape was commonly used between the 600-840’s CE. The upper edge of the head has a relatively gentle curve, while the bottom edge steeply drops into a deep beard. This creates a long cutting and splitting blade capable of severe destruction. The hardwood handle is extended to allow for improved reach, making this not just a raiding weapon but a weapon of war. The Norse knotwork depicts a rising serpent, indicative of Jörmungandr and the threat he poses to our world. An intimidating presence, the Birger axe is our offering to those who are protectors in their own realms.

“The Lawgiver” – Norse Viking Axe

Many of the Viking gods are well known around the world even in modern times. Odin, Tyr, Freya, all of these legendary characters are a part of our cultural lexicon. Even people who know relatively little about Norse mythology are aware that Odin carries a spear and is missing an eye. And who could forget Thor? Owing to one of the best PR campaigns in godly history (courtesy of Marvel comics), few people on earth would not recognize Thor, god of thunder, with his mystical hammer Mjolnir and his mighty strength in battle… even if you mostly recognize the comic book version.However, there are many lesser-known gods from the Norse age. Some of these still make their way into fiction in one form or another, though their stories may be drastically changed as a result. Others are even more obscure, yet their impact on Norse history can’t be denied – such as the god Forseti, called the law giver, and who you probably have never heard of. Despite his modest position in Norse mythology, though, he may be one of the most impactful gods of all.Study history long enough and you will notice an interesting feature common in almost every culture – the law comes from above. Human beings are created or emerge or otherwise find themselves to exist on planet earth, and at some point some god somewhere tells us how we ought to be living our lives. Setting aside the truth or fiction of these accounts, it is curious how every culture seems to come up with the same idea – that of establishing rules for all of us to follow based on some divine mandate. It’s almost as though we feel that the idea of Justice or fairness is so important to our identity as a species that we are compelled to create fictions to justify their importance. For the Norse people, these laws came from Forseti.Forseti appears in few places in the major writings of Norse history. He is first described in the Grímnismál, a section of the Poetic Edda, and in this he is described as living in the great hall Glitnir, from which he settles disputes in accordance with a law of justice and fairness. In other epic tales Forseti appears with a great golden axe, in one case to 12 Viking leaders who had been a drift on the ocean without oars or food. These Vikings prayed for guidance and Forseti appeared; bearing a gleaming axe, he paddled their boat to shore, split the land open to create a spring of fresh water, and taught them the Code of Law as well as the means of dispensing justice in society. In modern times, pagans considered Forseti to be a god of negotiation and debate, a just arbiter from an age of vendettas and vengeance who chooses to lead people to peaceful reconciliation.This axe is named in the spirit of this god of justice and reconciliation. The Lawgiver is a bearded Viking axe with incredible handling. Unlike the hulking, brutish axes of fantasy and fiction the Lawgiver is a nimble weapon that comes alive in the hand, able to be swung at length with one or both hands with equal deftness. The hardwood handle is wrapped in leather and treated to resist the elements, and compliments the darkened steel of the head. The head itself has a inlaid Viking knotwork design, the intricate swirls depicting the same dragon that would grace the prow of Viking longships. To add to the Lawgiver’s versatility, the back of the head is a broad, flat face suitable for use as a hammer should the need arise. We hope you will find a place for the Lawgiver in your collection!
