Description

The Skeggøx is a hand-forged Viking bearded axe with a rosewood handle, the fully functional, iconic axe style linked to Ragnar Lothbrok. It is built as a real, usable axe rather than a decorative toy, which is why it works equally well on the wall, in a collection, or in the hand.

Build & materials

  • Head: hand-forged steel in the true Skeggøx (bearded) profile, the lower edge drawn down into a hooking "beard."
  • Handle: carefully chosen rosewood, finished with leather wraps for a secure, authentic grip.
  • Head size: about 14 cm / 5.5"; total length: 55 cm / 21.6".
  • Fully functional, a working axe with a real edge, not a cast display replica.

Why the Skeggøx, Ragnar Lothbrok's axe?

The Skeggøx, or bearded axe, is the most recognisable Viking axe shape. The "beard" gives a longer cutting edge and lets you hook a shield or weapon, fast in one hand and unmistakably Norse. It is the style most associated with the legendary Viking Ragnar Lothbrok, which makes it a favourite of collectors, reenactors and fans of Norse history alike.
