Crafted for warriors, woodsmen, and axe enthusiasts alike, the Cold Steel Viking Hand Axe is a perfect fusion of history, functionality, and sheer cutting power. Drawing inspiration from the legendary axes wielded by Norse raiders and Scandinavian craftsmen, this formidable tool brings old-world craftsmanship into the modern age with quality materials and expert design. Whether you’re looking to channel your inner Viking, tackle serious woodwork, or add an authentic piece to your collection, this axe is built to impress.
At the heart of this weapon lies its 6-inch 1055 carbon steel blade, honed to deliver devastating cuts and deep penetration with every swing. 1055 carbon steel is renowned for its excellent toughness, edge retention, and impact resistance—qualities that make this axe a powerhouse in both practical and historical applications. Whether you're splitting wood, clearing brush, or engaging in historical reenactments, this blade won’t let you down. It’s designed to endure heavy use while maintaining its cutting efficiency, and with proper care, it’ll last for generations.
A great axe isn’t just about the blade; balance, grip, and overall construction play a vital role. That’s where the long, straight-grain hickory handle comes in. At 30 inches, this handle provides ample leverage for powerful swings while maintaining excellent control and maneuverability. Hickory is a time-tested wood choice for axe handles due to its exceptional strength and shock absorption, ensuring a comfortable yet commanding grip. The combination of the sturdy handle and the razor-sharp blade results in a well-balanced, lightweight tool, weighing in at just 17.6 ounces—ideal for extended use without excessive fatigue.
Versatility is another key advantage of the Cold Steel Viking Hand Axe. Whether you’re using it for functional outdoor tasks, historical demonstrations, or as a striking display piece, it delivers. Its classic Viking-style design makes it a great option for collectors and history buffs, while its sharp edge and ergonomic build make it just as practical for real-world use. Take it camping, bring it to the woods, or display it proudly—no matter how you use it, this axe makes a statement.
