AXES OF THE NORTH WAY This section focuses on the axe along the ancient Nordvegr/North Way, modern Norway; from the introduction of bronze through the Viking Age. All types of axes through these 3000 years were potential weapons, many types were dedicated battle axes. On the other hand - it is difficult to safely sort out any as for crafting only. The heavy axe head with its sharp edge were always a lethal tool. All axe heads are based on actual archaeological findings. They have been carefully chosen for typological representativity. Bronze axes have an edge treatment of several cycles of annealing and hammering. Iron axes have high carbon steel edges on mild steel bodies. Axes can also be delivered hafted. Orders: Orders are best made on e-mail to: post@arkeoreplika.no. Standard payment for customers abroad is through PayPal. Norwegian customers will have to add an additional 25% tax to the prices.
