The Single Handed Viking Axe
The axe is an essential work tool for the Vikings both on the farm and in battle and this short Viking axe could be used as a weapon in two ways.
It excelled as a close quarters weapon, while still being light enough to throw when necessary.
As a hand-held weapon it was a lethal force, capable of cleaving helms, mail and shields, while a volley of thrown axes could disrupt an opposing force and allow a breakthrough in a shield wall.
