The name Bjørn
Bjørn is the Old Norse word for "bear", a fitting name for a heavy, rune-covered axe built to stand out on a wall or shelf. It arrives with a fitted leather cover, and the runes and detailing are all cut by hand, which is what makes each Bjørn a little different from the next. Browse the rest of our Viking axes.
