Francisca Axe Antiqued-CAS Hanwei XH2120N

Francisca viking axe

The Francisca, so named for its Frankish origins, was used by the Vikings both as a throwing weapon and for close-quarters combat. Its graceful lines are legendary but the upswept point and downturned edge were both capable of penetrating chain mail.

Our Francisca features a forged head with a fire-gray or antiqued finish and a swelled-end hardwood shaft for secure head retention.

The shaft is also backswept, as were the originals, providing greater sticking capability when thrown.

Made by Hanwei.
