Frankish Axe

Description of the Product

The ancient Frankish Warriors would form a rough line an arm’s throw from their foe and hurl light spears and axes before charging in for individual combat. This distinct axe is perfect for throwing with its solid steel head and hardwood shaft. The level of finish has also been left rough, as axe-throwing would be likely to quickly mar a finer finish. This axe is based on examples from the 5th century.

Please note! The final pieces of this axe all have a handle that is too loose/small for the axe head, so that the axe head moves along the shaft. The axe comes with a larger wooden replacement handle, which can be whittled down to fit the axe head, plus a steel wedge. This does require a bit of DIY-spirit, so it's not suitable if you are looking for a ready-made axe.
