Ravenmark Longaxe™ Viking Axe – Double Bit High Carbon Steel

Ravenmark Longaxe™ Viking Axe

The Ravenmark Longaxe™ Viking Axe is a handmade double-bit axe featuring a high-carbon steel head, long ash wood haft, raven detailing, and a thick black leather wrap. Measuring approximately 88 cm overall, this striking Viking-inspired design combines traditional Norse styling with handmade craftsmanship.

Double-Bit Long Axe Design

With an overall length of 88 cm (34.6"), the Ravenmark Longaxe™ has the proportions of a substantial long axe. Its double-bit high-carbon steel head measures approximately 26 cm (10.2") across, while the blade length is approximately 18.5 cm (7.3").

Despite its substantial size, the original design is made to be highly swingable, helping the axe feel relatively light and easy to control for its size.

Raven-Inspired Custom Viking Axe

The wooden haft is partially burned and waxed to highlight the natural grain of the ash wood. Hand-burned geometric raven artwork and rune-style lettering give this custom Viking axe a distinctive Norse-inspired appearance.

A thick black leather wrap is applied around the grip and choke areas, complementing the dark detailing while providing a defined gripping surface.

Viking Battle Axe Styling

The double-bit head and long haft give the Ravenmark Longaxe™ the visual character commonly associated with a large battle axe. Its design is Viking-inspired rather than presented as an exact reproduction of one specific historical archaeological axe.

The combination of high-carbon steel, ash wood, leather wrapping, rune detailing, and raven artwork makes this piece particularly suitable for collectors and enthusiasts of Norse-inspired craftsmanship.

Care & Maintenance

Keep the high-carbon steel head clean and dry after handling or use. A light protective coat of oil can help protect the steel from surface corrosion during storage.

Keep the ash wood haft away from prolonged moisture, and periodically inspect the leather wrap and axe head before use or display.
