VIKING HATCHET - HAND AXE
The hatchet is an essential work tool for the Vikings both on the farm and in battle. This short Viking axe could be used as a weapon in two ways.
It excelled as a close quarters weapon, while still being light enough to throw when necessary. As a hand-held weapon it was a lethal force, capable of cleaving helms, mail and shields, while a volley of thrown axes could disrupt an opposing force and allow a breakthrough in a shield wall.
