Black Friday Weekend: Merry Axemas

This deal applies with any of our Axes with the name "Dane", including reinforced and non-reinforced edge options.  These are the big boys straight out of the 11th century featuring a 1050 carbon steel blade that is differentially hardened mounted on an ash haft. Featured prominently in historical documents like the Bayeux Tapestry, these are based on extant examples. 

Our Nordland Axe is a hatchet sized utility axe/weapon based on archaeological examples from the early Viking period.  These feature a 4140 carbon steel blade, differentially hardened with the forge-black left on for some rust resistance (also, it looks cools). The haft on these are hickory. These are great as a modern camp axe or for reenactment, they are also good for throwing. Best of all, you can kind of fit one in a (largish) Christmas stocking.  We have plenty of these in stock, so if you order during this promotion you will get it before the holiday.
