The ones at the upper end of the price spectrum are apparently functional and combat ready.

I guess as long as the US military is fighting pirates in 2016 it was time to reinvent the ax.

And you can buy Pantaloons for your SO so you won't get into too much trouble.

Our New Orleans Pantaloons are part of a flirty little Edwardian lingerie ensemble

My favorite axe like edge, the tactical Kama! Faster than an axe, and a great companion to a Kukri.

If you want a serious war axe, try Arms & Armor.

And I thought this would be a Hillary bashing thread....much better instead.

Though I've posted this link before, I'll repeat it here in case others don't know about them.

After watching the show Vikings since the first season, I succumbed to the siren's call and got a battle-ready sword and two battle-ready bearded axes from

Be sure to look for "battle ready", otherwise they're just wallhangers.

A buddy of mine just ordered several items from these folks in Latvia. Expensive, and a 6-12 month backlog, but oh so functional and awesome.

I have a collection dating back about 10 years including one Viking style sword, a couple of Bearded Axes both long hafted and short hafted, one ancient Ottoman Turkish axe and shield, and a few modern interpretations. I have a Damascus (pattern welded) hand axe and dagger in the mail as we speak.
The Viking longsword came fully sharpened from the maker and I have been known to use it to chop down thistles and such on occasion. At 68 my blows no longer have the power they did when I was in Dagorhir and SCA in the 70's and 80's (or MA for 20 years). I was in the original chapter of Dagorhir (and Advanced Dagorhir, the one that included acting out stories) as a Jomviking berserker, my primary weapon being the two-handed Dane axe.

I just looked at the Latvian axes and I have to say the Baltic and Viking battle axes are definitely top tier in both quality and historical reproduction. I may have to order one myself.

I love watching Forged in Fire and one recent episode they had to make a Kukri. Pretty awesome...

Yeah, I'm likin' that Baltic one.

There's a pretty moving story with it on the order form.
