#024 Danish War Axe
This favored weapon of the Saxon huscarl saw action throughout northern Europe in the hands of Saxon, Norse, and Norman alike. The long handle and thin blade create a fearsome weapon capable of immense damage to the lightly armored opponents of that time. The high carbon steel blade holds a great edge and is mounted on an ash shaft. This was the type of weapon William the Conqueror faced at the Battle of Hastings (1066), where he defeated the Saxon army.
Original: c. 1000 Danish, British Museum, London.
