Trustpilot
The Viking Skeggox Axe Head Replica by JW SteelCrafts is a hand-forged blank axe head with bold Norse character. It features a 6–8 inch cutting edge and an acid-etched Viking design across the head, giving it striking detail. As a blank head, it is ideal for collectors, display builds, and makers who want to finish it with their own handle.
This piece suits Norse history fans, knife and axe makers, and anyone building a Viking-themed collection. Because each head is hand-forged and etched, the pattern and finish are unique on every piece.
The Skeggøx, or bearded axe, was one of the most recognizable tools of the Viking age, from roughly the 8th to 11th centuries. Its lower "beard" let users choke up for fine control, while the broad edge handled both daily work and heavier tasks. Affordable and effective, it was far more common than the sword among everyday Norse people and became a lasting symbol of Viking heritage. A blank axe head follows the old tradition of forging the head first and fitting a handle later, the way smiths and owners did for centuries. This acid-etched replica head carries that legacy forward as a display and project piece.
