Description
The "Vargstal" is a fully functional, hand-forged Viking-styled double-bit axe in high-carbon AISI 1065 steel, a heavy working axe with a cutting edge on both sides, built for chopping and splitting. Its name means "wolf steel," and it's made to be used, not just displayed.
Vargstal double-bit axe: build & materials
- Head: forged high-carbon steel (AISI 1065), hardened to ~48–54 HRC, a double-bit (dual-edge) profile.
- Handle: ash wood with a gentle leather wrap.
- Head length: 9.44" (240 mm); cutting edge: 4.52" (115 mm).
- Overall length: 25.59" (650 mm); weight: 4.3 lb (1.95 kg).
- Fully functional, ready to use; wooden box and engraving optional.
A working double-bit axe
Unlike our ornate display axes, the Vargstal is built for real work: the double-bit head gives you two cutting edges, and its 1.95 kg mass drives powerful strikes for chopping, splitting and cutting wood. It works outdoors as a chopping tool and reads just as well on a Viking-styled wall. See the rest of our Viking axes.
