Swords

Viking swords, also known as Dane axes or bearded axes are single-handed weapons that allow warriors to hack their opponents from a distance. This was a common technique for Vikings as they raided and colonized on a regular basis. They could not hold a shield and use their swords at the same time so they would stand back and wait until they had an opening to attack. They were usually pattern-welded double edged blades that were forged from iron and steel. These weapons were often a symbol of wealth and status amongst the Norse nobility and many became family heirlooms.

The Vikings were a fierce and dangerous warrior race feared the world over for their strength and skill in battle. They used an array of dangerous weaponry including axes, spears, javelins, bows and knives to fight their enemies hand to hand. They were ruthless warriors who lived by the code of honor and were not afraid of death in battle.

Axes

The Vikings fought with a dangerous array of weapons, including swords, axes and spears. They were feared warriors with a reputation for being fearless in battle. They primarily fought on foot but also had access to ships to raid and conquer distant lands. The viking sword was their primary weapon of choice but they also used axes, javelins and bows.

Although swords were the preferred weapons of the nobility, axes were much more commonly used by Viking commoners and farmers for everyday use. Axes could be used with one hand and held in the other to hold a shield or thrown at an enemy. Axes were usually double-edged and pattern-welded, which meant that steel layers were forge-welded together to create a stronger blade.

While they may not have had the same weight or durability as a sword, the viking axe was still an effective offensive weapon. They were capable of delivering devastating blows to the enemy's shield or head, and could easily penetrate helmets.

Axes were a favorite weapon of the Vikings because they were much cheaper to make than swords and easier to wield with one hand while holding a shield in the other. They were often made with a wooden handle and a carbon steel blade adorned with etchings. They were crafted by hand so each one was unique and no two axes were the same.

Bows & Arrows

Vikings used their bows for hunting, but also as a deadly weapon in battle. A skilled archer could fire an arrow straight through the armor of an enemy, causing serious wounds or even death. In addition to arrows, Vikings carried a variety of weapons that were designed to take down their opponents. One of the most popular and devastating of these was the bearded axe.

The axe was a common household tool for woodworking and splitting, but it became a weapon of choice in battle as well. Unlike swords, axes were made of cheaper iron and steel and were easily forged by blacksmiths. The curved blade concentrated the force of each blow into a smaller area and was capable of cutting through helmets and mail. In battle, it was often used to hook the shield of an opponent and pull it away, allowing the axe user to strike at them with greater accuracy.

There was a great deal of variation in the design of axe heads, but the general shape remained the same. Early axes had a narrow blade, but later they were replaced by broader ones called Danish axes or breid-ox. These had crescent-shaped edges that were 22 to 45 cm (9-18 in) long.

Axes were often used in conjunction with other weapons, especially spears. The sagas mention several instances of men using their axe to grab the tip of another person’s spear or hilt, pulling it away from them or out of their grip so they could be stabbed with their own sword or axe. The axe was often used to hook over other body parts, such as the neck, and drag an opponent into an unfavorable position.

Seax

The Vikings had several types of knives that they used for different purposes. One of these was a seax, which was a large fighting knife that most warriors would carry with them into battle. These were incredibly powerful knives, capable of cutting through even the thickest of armor. The Vikings also used a variety of swords and axes, but the seax was by far their most popular weapon.

The earliest examples of the seax had a straight or slightly curved blade with a single sharp edge. The hilt was made of wood, bone or antler and could be carved or decorated. The earliest seaxes were fairly small, but later examples had much longer blades. These long seaxes were often referred to as langseaxes, and they were more like full-sized swords than short bladed weapons such as daggers.

There are many different types of seaxes, and they can vary wildly in size. Some were a bit larger than a traditional dagger but still small enough to be wielded with one hand, while others were quite large and more comparable to a full-sized sword. The most common type of seax was the broken back variety, which featured a sharp angled transition between the back of the blade and the point. This resembled a very large clip point bowie knife, and these were the seaxes that came close to being full-sized swords.

While the Vikings generally preferred to use their seaxes for hacking and chopping, they did have some more delicate uses as well. In addition to being useful as utility tools, they were also useful for carving and etching. The Vikings were particularly fond of carving patterns, and they often etched the dull, thick side of their blades with runic letters or tiny pictures.

When it comes to purchasing a viking sword or axe, you should look for the highest quality that you can afford. A high hardness rating on your axe is an important indicator of its strength and durability, as is the fact that it has been properly heat treated to achieve that hardness. A high hardness rating will ensure that your axe retains its sharp edge for a long period of time and that it is resistant to corrosion or damage.
