M48 Viking Axe And Sheath - 3Cr13 Cast Stainless Steel Head, Injection-Molded Fiberglass Handle - Length 27 1/2”

Well made and sharp very cool

The axe as was originally carried by your average viking; was seen in its time as a "cost effective" weapon... every household had one and the sword was a costly weapon (and only obtained after several successful raids). That being said, the viking axe is the quintessential viking weapon. This M48 version is - in a word, exquisite. It has an excellent heft, a perfectly thick blade, grips at both the bottom of the haft and directly under the head, and a strong blade. I wholly recommend it as both a personal defense weapon and a fantastic modern interpretation of the weapon which inspired fear in the all those which found themselves on the receiving end of such a daunting weapon/tool. In my opinion, this is the very best of the M48 line and should be purchased as soon as you are able. Enjoy and skol!
