Bring the character of traditional axe making to your collection with this Hand Forged Damascus Viking Bearded Axe from Woodsman Forge.
The axe features a beautifully patterned Damascus steel head with flowing layered lines and a classic bearded profile. The curved lower beard gives the head its unmistakable Viking-inspired silhouette while adding visual distinction to the design.
The approximately 12-inch natural rosewood handle is one of the standout features. Its warm reddish-brown grain and naturally occurring wood knot give each handle an individual appearance. No two pieces of natural rosewood will look exactly alike.
A dark brown leather blade guard completes the axe. The guard is detailed with brass rivets, cream-colored stitching, and a belt loop, providing a practical covering while complementing the traditional character of the axe.
At approximately 16 inches overall and 2 pounds, this is a compact hand-forged axe that works equally well as a collector's piece, rustic display, or outdoor-oriented tool.
