Designed for re-enactors and enthusiasts, this axe features a rugged hardwood handle paired with a pierced axe blade that can be customized to suit your needs. Choose between a blunted 3mm edge for stage combat, or a sharpened version with a cutting edge of approximately 0.5–1mm.

The single-handed axe was a staple weapon throughout the early and high Middle Ages, used by foot soldiers and knights alike. Its utility in battle was unmatched—light enough for quick strikes, yet powerful enough to cleave through armor and shields. The addition of decorative piercings, like the cross on this blade, reflects the blend of form and function seen in period weapons from the 10th to 14th centuries.
