Battle Axe Replicas from Medieval Times!

We offer some battle axe pieces here to be savored by any collector. We have battle axes (also called War Axe) here that have been replicated from renaissance Italy, the Middle ages, and Germany. All battle axes are exquisitely hand-crafted and of durable showpiece construction. Take a blow at these axes and make your pick.

The battle-axe was the key weapon used by medieval leaders like King Harold. Battle-axes were used in fierce hand-to-hand fighting or could be hurled through the air at the enemy. Most battle axes were designed with broad cutting edges. The head or a limb could be cut off with one axe blow! Many could pierece armor and chain mail.

A battle axe (also battle-axe or battle-ax) is an axe specifically designed as a weapon of combat. Many were designed for one hand use, while others were larger and required two hands to use. Axes designed for combat usually ranged from 1-6 poinds in weight and from one to five feet in length. Anything longer than five feet would fit into the category of pole-arms.

Through the course of human history, common objects have been pressed into service as weapons.  Besides axes designed for combat, some axes were designed to be both tools and weapons. Throwing axes were a specialty battle axe. As axes were quicker and cheaper to produce than swords they were used extensively. 

Battle axes generally weigh less than modern splitting axes because they were designed to cut flesh rather than wood. The lighter weapons were much quicker when engaged in combat. 

Stone axes have been in use since at least the 3rd millennium BC. They were followed by copper, bronze, iron and steel axes.

We  feature some very nice fantasy battle axes.  No medieval collection is complete without a Battle Axe or two!  As these items are intended for display purposes only, the blades are not sharpened.
