Description of the Product
As late as the 11th century the axe wasn’t considered a gentlemanly weapon, and only the skandinavians and the saxons would use it as a primary weapon. By the early 12th century attitudes had changed, so that the axe became a permissible weapon for all men-at-arms across continental Europe. The reputation of the lowly axe changed so, that it could be seen even in the hands of kings. Axes remained a very common weapon all through the 12th and 13th centuries, and the popularity did not wane in the 14th century either.
This axe has on its blade a cut opening in the shape of the cross. Even though the age of the crusades was by the 14th century already history, emphasising christianity was a substantial part of the chivalric virtues. Chivalry during the 1300’s included the admiration and imitation of the brave crusaders, heroes and defenders of the faith of the previous centuries. Christian symbols, such as the cross, were important and useful external markers of the chivalric virtues. The cross axe imitates the style of the crusader axe of the previous centuries, almost like a fan would, but obviously it also works as a reinforcer and symbol of the carriers faith.
When practicing with steel weapons it is vitally important to make sure that sufficient and proper protective gear is worn and that all the equipment is in good condition. In order to avoid accidents remember to stay careful and controlled in all circumstances.

Jukka Valli12/03/2024Tilasin keskiaikaisen hupun. 100% puuvillaa, joten voi käsitellä kosteussuoja-aineella. Vaivatonta kaupankäyntiä.
Hanna Nieminen10/03/2024Sain kaksi muistikirjaa ja kalligrafiasetin setin 25-vuotis lahjaksi rakkaaltani. Ne ovat upeita! Olen saanut valtavasti kyselyitä muistikirjan alkuperästä ja kehunut Rautaporttia laadukkaasta käsityöstä. Tuotteista huokuu estetiikka, laatu ja taianomaisuus. Täydellinen lahja historia-/fantasianörtille!

Maaret Pasanen29/02/2024Siis aivan huikea!! Tilasin pari tuotetta aamupäivällä, ja 24h myöhemmin ne olivat jo noudettavissa postin automaatista! Kaikki sujui kuin rasvattu, ei ole mitään moitittavaa. Vaatteet olivat juuri sitä mitä tilasin, ja koot pitävät kyllä todella hyvin paikkansa! 😍 Aion ehdottomasti tilata vielä uudestaan, ja ehdottomasti suosittelen kaikille!
