Great for costuming or role-playing, this War Axe also makes a fine wall decoration. These non-functioning replicas are made of cast metal and are not suitable for sharpening. Decorative axes and flails make excellent display pieces to be added to hallways, stairwells, or arranged on walls for an authentic medieval look. They are also suitable for theatrical purposes, although mock combat is not in their repertoire. Suitable for display only.
Among the many weapons used for battle during Medieval times, few were more popular nor as widely used as the Battle Axe, or War Axe. The highly sharpened blades on these formidable weapons could easily pierce armour and shred chain mail worn by opposing knights. The axe was relatively light-weight, allowing it to be an ideal weapon for one-handed battle either on the ground or atop horseback. |
