The head is made of dark, textured metal with a mottled, weathered finish, featuring a curved cutting edge that flares slightly downward in a classic bearded or Nordic profile. It is secured to the top of the handle with a combination of dark metal collars and thick leather binding. The haft is a long, straight shaft made of smooth, medium-toned brown hardwood. Dark brown leather strips are wrapped tightly around nearly the entire length of the handle in a crisscross diamond pattern, providing traction and a distinctive, historically inspired look. A belt loop is integrated into the design for carrying. At 30 inches overall, this is a substantial piece—ideal for collectors of Viking-era arms, reenactors, or anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship of a traditional hand axe.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cli\u003eForged Carbon Steel Head: Dark, textured metal with mottled, weathered finish; curved cutting edge with bearded\/Nordic profile.
