As a hand-held weapon it was a lethal force, capable of cleaving helms, mail and shields, while a volley of thrown axes could disrupt an opposing force and allow a breakthrough in a shield wall.  The heat treated ZG45 carbon steel head is supplied sharp and fitted with an antique look hardwood haft.
