The Viking Langøx

The Saga of the Volsungs, also known as the Völsunga saga, is one of our most famous surviving epic works of prose in Old Norse. A 13th century work based on a much older myth and Legend. In these sagas, Viking warriors were masters of the axe, a weapon as vital to their survival as it was to their conquests. Unlike the shorter, handier axes, the Langox, or Long Axe, is fitted on an extended shaft, a crucial design element that allowed for devastating, far-reaching swings in close-quarters battle. This offers superior reach and leverage for powerful, decisive blows.

Drawing inspiration from excavated axe heads, our team has forged the axe while keeping the form and functionality of the Dane or Broadaxe – weapons renowned for their immense cutting power and extended range. Every curve of the blade, every detail of the haft, reflects a weapons that shaped an era.
