Battle Axes, Tomahawks and Handles

Well made and finely decorated. Smaller than I was expecting, but sharp and balanced. Worth the buy.

When I bought the engraved Viking axe-head, I went ahead and bought this extra wooden shaft in case the first one was damaged somehow or came loose and could not be fixed.  I just love that such items are made available for weapons that could actually break during use.  It also came with a stained wooden sheave that you can slice off a bit to hammer into the top of the wooden handle to tighten the shaft part inside of the axe-head.  This shows foresight, and I appreciate things like that as I like to be prepared for things that might logically go wrong over time. Very nice.

I bought this axe for my daughter's 15th birthday.  I have given my sons their first knives/axes at age 11, as I myself received from my father, but I waited longer for my daughter.  She was disappointed it wasn't jewelry that she expected.  Aside from that, this axe is very nice. The engraving is beautiful against the dark steel axe head.  Don't know how they made it dark like that, but it looks great.  Handle is also strong and easy to grip, with an oval shaped wood shaft that helps prevent loosening or rotation of the axe-head.  I don't know if it is a throwing axe, since it's heavily weighted towards the axe head -- more so than any other axe I have had before.  That said, it would probably tear through any armor because of the sheer weight of the axe-head.  Although I bought it mostly for the design, I may take it for a few swings on the woodpile.  If you like engraved designs on practical weapons, then this is a good choice.

A well made axe it came sharp with a good handle It is heavy as a battle axe should be

Great thrower that is accurate, tough, and attractive!

Really nice!  Not cheap or flimsy.  Beautiful engraving!

Exactly as described. Well balanced either one of two handed. Excellent workmanship, finish, and packaging.

I have just one word on this ax. WOW !  Its so cool  and well crafted I can't bear to use it

The original Beast axe looked much better, should have kept the curve and the brass...
P.S. your overveiw on website is for a sword, not this version of this axe...

With the neo-Viking engraving on the head, I was definitely not expecting this axe to be so solid. Sharper than I expected as well, took a beating with no looseness in the handle. I'm not that great at throwing, but was able to stick 7 out of 12 throws right from the box!
