Hand Forged Bearded Viking Axe with Layered Steel Head and Shaped Hardwood Haft

The bearded axe is one of the most recognizable Norse tool shapes, with its extended lower blade offering more grip options than a standard hatchet head. This version brings that traditional profile to life in hand-forged layered steel.

The head is hand forged from layered steel in a classic bearded profile, where the blade extends downward past the haft, giving the tool a wider working surface and more grip positions. A notched detail sits along the upper beard, adding a hand-worked touch to the silhouette.

The 4.5-inch cutting edge is ground sharp and functional, while the layered steel gives the head a distinctive forged pattern across its face. The haft is shaped hardwood, contoured for a secure, comfortable grip.

A snap-close leather edge cover is included, keeping the blade safely covered for carry and storage. If you want a companion piece for a themed Norse display, our Leather Wrapped Viking Sword shares the same historically inspired styling.
