Viking Battle Axe
Cold Steel®'s Viking Battle Axe is intended to be used as a stand-alone weapon, but it can be paired effectively with a sword, shield or long sax. It's a cutting, chopping, stabbing dynamo that any Viking worth his salt would envy. It's drop forged and features a wide, curved cutting edge that terminates in horns or points on the ends. This means you can stab, parry or hook shields or limbs with ease. More information...

1055 High Carbon Steel
The carbon content and lean alloy of this shallow hardening steel make this a very sturdy material that avoids a lot of the brittleness commonly associated with higher carbon materials. Particularly suited to blades requiring impact resistance, it's often seen in large fixed blades and swords.
