Norse Tradesman 14" Viking Throwing Axe - Carbon Steel Head, Teakwood Handle, Brown, Regulation Size, Includes Leather Sheath

I wouldn't call this an axe, it's size is more of a hatchet but that's not bad if you want that. Read the measurements and if that is the size you want, great. It seems well mad, a hammer portion on the back side and a good blade. I've used it as a hatchet and so far it appears well made, durable and easy to handle. I've been using it to cut brush and trim/split small stuff and it works fine for that. I haven't tried throwing it yet but that will come in time.

I bought this for a Vikings photoshoot and it’s unbelievable! Amazing quality, especially for the price! It also has a good weight to it which I wasn’t expecting. (It’s not flimsy) I highly recommend buying for photo shoots or even home decor.

its a good axe nice weight for chopping for making tripods and cooking stand

I've been throwing axes for about roughly 5 years now, and of all the ones that are designed to look Nordic and Viking Style, these ones take the gold. They are excellent throwing axes as well and stick the target 99% of the time.The only thing that concerns me is the durability. The manufacturer status that is can be used recreational wise and competitive wise, and displays so through its video advertisement. The axe clearly can be used for those means. However, I've have to replace some of the nails with heavier duty nails multiple times now, and both axes I purchased have had their heads slide significantly. They are both still secure but I feel uneasy throwing them now, because I'm concerned the head will bounce back if the wood shatters.Overall. This is a true work of a master. My only one suggestion is to adopt the same.style but include a full tang for the axe. I do suggest this axe for those who don't plan on using it as extensively as I do. It's still a great figure piece.

Happily Surpised how it looks and quality.

My initial thought was a little disappointed because it didn't look as good as the picture and this was gotten as a gift. That being said once I actually looked at it, as it was giving right out of delivery box I was extremely disappointed and disgusted. It is molded and not a little. Not in a look closely kind of way. It's severe, and I included pictures because I need it known I'm not just making a mountain out of a mole hill. Also as I was inspecting I noticed the top of the handle which is also molded is also cracked so if this were to be thrown it wouldn't last. The design and color can be over looked, sharpness can be fixed. The health risk of it being completely covered in mold not at all up for debate. And we have immune compromised people in my home so this is extremely irritating.

Surprisingly light weight wood. Feels cheap!

Nice axe
