Even better than I can show in photos! The Broadaxe, sometimes referred to as a Danish axe, is a typical pattern from the Viking era, capable of cleaving helms or armour with impunity. They feature forged heads with sharp tempered edges and hardwood shafts. This is the most massive axe Hanwei makes and almost surely the same one that is Rollo Lothbrok’s weapon of choice in the TV series Vikings. Made In China | Hanwei Forge.

Cutting surfaces vary, but is generally between 20 cm and 30 cm (8 and 12 inches). Type L blades tend to be smaller, with the toe of the bit swept forward for superior shearing capability. Later type M blades are typically larger overall, with a more symmetrical toe and heel. The blade itself was reasonably light and forged very thin, making it superb for cutting. The fatness of the body on top the edge is as thin as 2 mm. Many of these axes were constructed with a reinforced bit, typically of a higher carbon steel to facilitate a harder, sharper edge. Average weight of an axe this size is between 1 kg and 2 kg (2 and 4 pounds). This complex construction results in a lively and quick weapon with devastating cutting ability. Based on period depictions, the haft of a longaxe for combat was between approx. 0.9 m and 1.2 m (3 and 4 feet) long Comments: Very well made, fully functional. Completely authentic construction, and the antiquing provides a weathered look that makes it even more realistic. You can see from the stills this is the axe Rollo Lothbrok uses with such deadly effect in Vikings. I'm a collector and a weekend warrior, active in my local HEMA group.
