This level of carbon ensures that the blade maintains a sharp edge, crucial for both cutting and combat efficiency. 1095 steel is known for its exceptional hardness, typically ranging between 56-58 HRC. However, high carbon steel like 1095 can be less flexible, which is a crucial quality for impact resistance in battle conditions. To counter this, the axe blade undergoes a clay tempering process. This involves applying a thick clay coating to the blade, except for the edge, during the quenching process. The clay insulates and slows the cooling of the treated areas, resulting in a blade with a razor-sharp edge and a more flexible body, optimizing both strength and sharpness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAxe Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHandle Material: Durable wood, crafted for a comfortable and secure grip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOverall Length: 34 inches, reflecting the traditional size of Viking axes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAx Head Size: 8 inches, designed for effective chopping and combat utility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRockwell Hardness: 56-58 HRC, ensuring a durable and long-lasting edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSheath: A custom-fitted leather sheath for safe storage and transport.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade Material: High Carbon 1095 Steel, chosen for its edge retention and hardness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSummary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Viking Axe, measuring 34 inches in length and crafted from High Carbon 1095 Steel, is a formidable representation of the Scandinavian Bearded Axe.

The more traditional method is to hold the blade vertically and tap the ball every few inches along the spine. The fine powder particles will be drawn to the blade while the heavier powder particles will fall past the blade. The powder should then removed from the blade with another cloth wiping over the spine from hilt to tip in one direction. Remember, you are simply removing the powder and excess oil at this point – you’re not polishing nor do you want to scratch the blade.

With a carbon footprint of .95%, 1095 steel outpaces other high-carbon variants like the 1045 steel. It's lauded for its sharpness retention and its almost unparalleled hardness, typically hovering around a Rockwell Hardness of 56-58 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, like many great things, 1095 steel isn't without its quirks. Its sheer strength comes at the cost of flexibility. In the fierce arena of battle, or even modern-day activities, an axe or sword's flexibility can mean the difference between triumph and a shattered blade. Enter the age-old technique of clay tempering. By applying a generous layer of clay over specific areas of the blade (leaving the edge exposed), the steel undergoes differential hardening during the quenching process. The outcome? A razor-sharp edge that retains its toughness, and a blade body that wields the flexibility of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications of the Axe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crafted from the finest wood, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Span\u003c\/strong\u003e: A commanding presence at 21\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAxe Head Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\", shaped meticulously for both aesthetics and efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness Quotient\u003c\/strong\u003e: A sturdy Rockwell Hardness of 56-58 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtective Sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e: Comes with a genuine leather sheath, safeguarding the blade and adding a touch of sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Constituent\u003c\/strong\u003e: Premium 1095 Steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep into the legacy of the Vikings with this Bearded Axe – 21\" of pure, handcrafted excellence, showcasing the iconic high carbon 1095 steel blade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battling Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42720093438124,"sku":"3000002021","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/files\/DSC0989.jpg?v=1693585501"},{"product_id":"viking-sword-bundle","title":"Viking Sword Bundle-  Five Viking Swords and More","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePremium Viking Sword Collection with Maintenance Essentials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStep into the annals of Nordic legend with our exquisite range of Viking swords.

Unlike the double-edged swords favored by wealthier warriors, the seax was often a more practical weapon, doubling as a tool for hunting, cutting, and survival. Shorter seaxes were carried as everyday blades, while larger versions, like the langseax, were wielded in battle, delivering powerful cleaving strikes. Historical accounts suggest that the langseax was used by foot soldiers and raiders who relied on its ability to cut through armor and shields with sheer force. While most traditional seaxes ranged from 12 to 35 inches, some Norse and Germanic warriors carried long seax-like blades, blurring the line between knife and sword.
