Step into the legacy of the North with the Rite Edge Viking Chopping Axe, a striking fusion of ancient craftsmanship and modern functionality. Inspired by the rugged, efficient designs once wielded by Viking warriors and Slavic woodsmen, this axe pays homage to a time when a blade was as much a symbol of survival as it was a weapon. Its form and balance reflect centuries of refinement, offering the same purposeful simplicity that made it a trusted tool in both battle and daily life.

The 6.25-inch hand-forged high-carbon steel head delivers uncompromising strength and durability. With a 4-inch razor-sharp cutting edge, it holds its edge through repeated use, making it ideal for demanding chopping, splitting, and cutting tasks. Whether you’re tackling a cord of firewood or preparing camp for the night, this blade’s precision and bite inspire confidence in every swing.

Its 18-inch solid wood handle offers the perfect balance between control and power. Long enough for two-handed use yet nimble enough for one-handed strikes, it provides a comfortable grip that minimizes fatigue while maximizing accuracy. The handle’s natural grain not only offers timeless visual appeal but also delivers the tactile connection that seasoned outdoorsmen appreciate in a working tool.

Beyond its utility, the Rite Edge Viking Chopping Axe is a living artifact. Perfect for medieval reenactments, renaissance fairs, and live-action role-play events, it bridges the gap between functional gear and historical display. Collectors will admire its faithful design and craftsmanship, while outdoorsmen will value its resilience in the field. This is more than just an axe—it’s a piece of history you can wield.
