This Axe is an early type of battle axe, primarily used during the transition between European
Viking Age and early Middle Ages.

Construction
The blade itself was reasonably light and forged very thin, making it superb for cutting.
The thickness of the body on top of 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. The average weight of an
axe this size is between 1 and 2 kg (2.2 and 4.4 lb). Proportionally, the long axe has more in common with a
modern meat cleaver than a wood axe. This complex construction (i.e. forged thin and incorporating a harder
type of steel near the edge) results in a lively and quick product with devastating cutting ability.

This axe is used for cutting tools, throwing axe games, camping, and for decorations.
