Ivar Hatchet - Handcrafted from Solid American Hickory

Ivar Hatchet handcrafted from solid American Hickory. This is a zippy and fun hatchet to wield. Axes were widely used by Vikings in open combat. One popular defense was to stay hidden behind the shield wall, and then spring forth in deadly attack. The hook of the blade is perfect for grappling on the battlefield. It would be ideal for your armory when paired with one of our Viking swords and Dagger SPECS: Blade averages 5 inches in length and 3 1/2 inches wide Overall length averages 18 inches CARE : Each ax is treated with a special, non-toxic, sword salve that is handcrafted in our shop. This protects it from weather and prolongs the life of your ax. Upon receiving your ax, it is a good idea to use a soft cloth to buff the wax into the wood. Tins of sword salve are available for purchase in our shoppe: GUARANTEE: All of our axes do come with a lifetime guarantee.

OUR BACKGROUND: At Hollow Earth, we developed the original hickory sparring weapon. Through many years of testing we have found hickory to be the superior American hardwood for sparring weapons. We founded our company in 1984, and as my children have grown up, so has the business. Now we proudly involve three generations of our family in making our fine wooden weapons. These swords have become a tradition for our family, as we hope they will for yours. Thank you for visiting our shop! * We usually ship our orders in 1-2 weeks.
