Historical Inspiration
Bearded axes appeared widely across Scandinavia during the Viking Age. The lowered beard allowed users to grip near the cutting edge for carving, shaping timber, and controlled strikes. Longer curved handles improved reach and leverage while maintaining agility. Pattern-welded steel techniques, known in early medieval forging, created layered grain structures that strengthened the blade and produced distinctive surface patterns.
Performance and Field Use
The 20 inch curved haft increases swing efficiency and control. The wide cutting edge supports clean slicing through wood fibers. This pair works well for light to moderate chopping, bushcraft tasks, and traditional woodworking.
