2010年9月29日 · I've spent the last month or so with Jeff Pringle doing some trials on Viking age axe forging. The first of these I posted on the New Work forum about a week ago. In my second and later tries I recorded the processes in pictures as well as I could. I would like to offer the following pictorial se...

2014年2月27日 · Viking-age fighters used every part of the weapon, and not only is the edge of the axe a useful tool in combat, so is the hammer, the horns, the haft, and the butt.

2014年2月3日 · basically i was wondering whether wrapped and welded viking axes had tapered eyes like tomahawks/pickaxes etc, or were mounted more like modern axes/hammers etc, or had some other arrangement, and more generally what would be a good size/shape to make a drift for making axes? any advice would be ...

2011年6月6日 · For comparing to Petersen’s types, here is a set of axes from 9th to 13th century Russia (Kolcin ’53), some are the same as Petersen’s Scandinavian designs.
