Two-Lugged Chopping Axe

Description

Historical Axes are not in production and unavailable in the US.

A Swedish axe developed during the 7th century and first used on the island of Gotland and in central parts of Sweden. The two lugs below the eye give the axe its characteristic look. The edge is short and straight. This replica, forged by hand, is based on an 11th century axe discovered at Mästermyr on Gotland. The original axe is exhibited at the Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm.
