Viking and Medieval Battle Axes
The Battle Axe was a crucial weapon since the Stone Age. Viking warriors are thought to be the first Europeans to make a large Battle Axe just for war. Since swords were not effectively useful against plate armor, maces, axes and war hammers were preferred by foot soldiers during the middle ages. Shorter handled axes were favored by knights for mounted combat. Our Medieval Battle Ready Axes with tempered, high carbon steel heads make formidable weapons.
