MSRP: $125.00 Specifications:Overall: 35“ Blade Length: 8.75" Weight: 4 lbs, 8 ozs Thickness at Guard: .82“ wikipedia: The Dane axe consists of a wide, thin blade, with pronounced 'horns' at both the toe and heel of the bit. 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). Proportionally, the long axe has more in common with a modern meat cleaver than a wood axe. 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.There are a number of ways to customize these, many inspired by the tv series Vikings.
