Availability: 147 in stock
SKU: HAC-003The bearded axe was one of the most characteristic weapons of Scandinavian warriors during the Viking Age (8th-11th centuries), prized for being light, fast, and easy to forge. This replica features the valknut engraved on the blade, a symbol of three interlocking triangles that appears on painted stones from the Swedish island of Gotland and which historians often associate with the god Odin and fallen warriors. Here, it appears within a ring of stylised runes and accompanied by Norse interlacing patterns, as a decorative motif inspired by that tradition.
