## Description

Cold Steel Viking Battle Axe with 1055 Carbon Steel Head, Viking Great Axe

Review: Great kit for the money - I’m giving 5 stars because CS delivered everything promised in the description and the materials are of good quality. That being said, you can use it out of the package as a recreational camp axe but you will need to further seat the handle before tightening the set screw. Not my first CS axe so I put it in a vice head up and close the vise till the wood handle is just clear with the head resting on the top lip of the vice jaws. Then I pound the handle into the head with a hard rubber mallet before locking the set screw. The head can’t ever leave the handle when swinging, the handle taper is bigger than the hole in the head. All it can do is fall down towards your hands if it ever comes loose. Regardless this is not a commercial tool, don’t expect that from it. I wanted to emulate a historical dressing for my axe, to do this I had to sand the sealer off the shaft and the terrible grey coating on the head that they use for rust protection. One this was done I used an espresso stain on the handle, three coats with wipe off method. It won’t get very dark. If you want a little darker try ebony or true black stain. I wrapped the top half with 10mm leather using the pull under method for the ends. For the grip I used 3mm braided leather. I wanted the braided leather handle portion to be longer but believe it or not this is 10 yards. For the head I used a wire wheel on a pedestal motor to remove the finish. I used 120 grit sandpaper for touch up. One I had it stripped I cleaned it with lacquer thinner and then alcohol using gloves to keep finger oils off (super important) I then used a wipe on steel blackener from desertcart and stayed off of the cutting edge. If you have shiny spots afterward you didn’t strip or clean well enough. I used the cheapest bluish/green blackening solution. I may still carve runes in between the leather cross cross areas using a steel bit in a dremel for precision. I’ll write the rune in sharpie, dremel over it till the sharpies gone and q-tip some stain in. In the end a little extra money for a period piece look but a much better axe than the junk Ragnar 2x4 handle baby axes out there. Some think the handle is too long, wrap the handle grip where you want it and you always have a two hand swing option which I like allot. (Or cut it down first if it’s a deal breaker)
Review: Nicely made but would like the Taiwan engravement removed. Buy American - Great axe, ive probably bought about 5 of en over the years. Not that they break but I just give them away to friends. Only thing is nothing says more authentic the Taiwan on the axe head that will be very difficult to remove. Its insane that it is cheaper to produce this small thing and ship it halfway across the globe

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it come with a sheath?**
A: No, but here is a custom molded kydex one: https://www.amazon.com/Luso-Sheathworks-Sheath-Viking-Bearded/dp/B09N7WPVGC/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Luso+Sheathworks&qid=1657062172&sr=8-2

**Q: where can i get a replacement handle for this axe? a 30" hangle just like this one**
A: Check amazon ...

**Q: Does this use the same wood handle as the coldsteel war hammer?**
A: Yes and no. I have replaced mine with a war hammer handle with no Ill effects. However, the stock handle is shaped a little differently. The war hammer handle is a perfect oval, where the tomahawk handles are thicker on the side that touches the palm, and thinner towards the fingers to aid in edge alignment. If you put the war handle on, there will be a small gap in the axe head

**Q: could i use this as a tool for bushcraft type activities as well as self defence?**
A: There are others that do better as a tool. This however, will suffice as a tool. The main purpose of this is a weapon.

Only thing is nothing says more authentic the Taiwan on the axe head that will be very difficult to remove.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice project Axe
*by C***T on July 4, 2018*

First, shipping was crazy fast. I purchased this axe on a Saturday and it was on my doorstep Tuesday morning. Everything was well packaged and protected so I have no issues there. My one word to anyone wanting to order this and assemble it ( yes assembly is required but I knew this already) and get there inner Ragnar on, The handle pole is so thickly protected with a thick lacquer that the axe head will not even go a good six inches up the handle upon initial assembly attempt just to see how this thing is going to look. I have already prepared to sand the pole so this is no great issue with me. About the handle, they did send my a wonderfully beautiful piece of hickory that has a beautiful grain pattern and is straight and solid. I am very pleased with it and cannot wait to get it sanded to see the wood without the varnish. This handle is SOLID! You could use this thing for a short defensive staff all on it's own if you so wished. I must find out if cold steel sells extra handles. I have not found them for sale online anywhere. The head is nice and seems to be well polished. The grain pattern of the steel is uniform. My complaints with the head are few. It is dull to the point where I can safely run my finger across the edge without fear of being cut. The angle of the edge is very steep and does not seem an appropriate edge for a weapon designed for cutting flesh . This is a weapon not a wood cutters axe and I will re profile the edge as I can as this is a large edge to deal with and I have to work out the logistics of it. I am not the greatest of free handed sharpeners. The horn designed for stabbing is non existent. Just not there. A rounded place where the sharp point is supposed to be. I will also have to find a way to bring back the sharp horn to this axe. This axe will take some minor work to get it where it should be, but for the price, it is well worth the time. I am in no hurry as Lindisfarne was raided long ago and I can take my time and get this right. It is absolutely worth the price I paid for it and I would order it again at this price. Besides, isn't a little time and effort in making the axe personally your what it is all about? STILL if anyone knows where they are selling extra handles for this PLEASE let me know!!
