🪓 The real Viking Axe from the north
The Wiking Axe is more than just a tool—it is a symbol of strength, courage, and craftsmanship. Many today refer to it as the Viking Axe , but to the ancient Norsemen, the northern axe was what a sword and shield were to other peoples. Whether in battle, hunting, or building their longhouses—the Viking Axes were indispensable.
"The northern axe was not only a weapon, but also the Vikings' most important tool for woodworking. From felling trees to splitting logs, the Viking Axe was indispensable in everyday life."
