600642 Danish ax

Danish Hand Axe.
All the victims of the Vikings were Danes, that"s what they called them: it didn"t matter if they came from Norway, Denmark or Sweden, they called them Danes. Most of them are familiar with the impressive Danish Axe, with its enormous blade, sometimes over a foot wide. But the smaller axes were more popular for all kinds of work such as cutting tree limbs. They could be thrown if necessary, but were more useful in close combat with or without a shield.
