A sword from the Viking Age required several kilos of high-quality iron and weeks of forging work — cleaning, welding, tempering — which made it a high-value asset, often passed down and sometimes named. An axe head, however, only required a few hundred grams of iron with an added steel edge, and the handle was made of wood. Most fighters therefore carried an axe and a spear, not a sword. This did not rule out luxury: the Mammen axe, found in Denmark in a grave dated to the 970s by dendrochronology, is inlaid with silver wire on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eTo learn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e Check out \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/hache-viking-types-combat-utilisation\" title=\"The Viking Axe: Types, Combat, and Usage\"\u003eour article on the Viking axe\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover other pieces you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-til-valhalla-haches-croisees-coton\" title=\"Til Valhalla Crossed Axes Cotton Viking T-Shirt\"\u003eTil Valhalla Crossed Axes Cotton Viking T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-valhalla-guerrier-runes-coton\" title=\"Valhalla Warrior and Runes Cotton Viking T-Shirt\"\u003eValhalla Warrior and Runes Cotton Viking T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-drakkar-medaillon-793-1066-coton\" title=\"Drakkar Medallion 793-1066 Cotton Viking T-Shirt\"\u003eDrakkar Medallion 793-1066 Cotton Viking T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":57872408707454,"sku":"LCV-TS-004-01","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":57872408674686,"sku":"LCV-TS-004-02","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":57872408772990,"sku":"LCV-TS-004-03","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":57872408740222,"sku":"LCV-TS-004-04","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":57872408838526,"sku":"LCV-TS-004-05","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":57872408805758,"sku":"LCV-TS-004-06","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":57872408904062,"sku":"LCV-TS-004-07","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL","offer_id":57872408871294,"sku":"LCV-TS-004-08","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6XL","offer_id":57872408936830,"sku":"LCV-TS-004-09","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/tee-shirt-viking-humour-guerrier-hache-coton-porte_24f7649c-08a9-4079-8849-a48a1f72e21c.jpg?v=1787233714","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-humour-guerrier-hache-coton","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
