TomahawkFor sale
The tomahawk is the light axe of the North American frontier: an Algonquian name, a Native American weapon concept, and a European-forged iron head, fused by the fur trade into the continent's universal sidearm. Warriors, rangers, and frontiersmen all carried it for two centuries as tool, weapon, and diplomatic symbol — the pipe tomahawk smoked for peace and swung for war — and American soldiers, four centuries later, still buy, issue, and carry its direct descendants.

Viking Battle AxeFor sale
The battle axe was the most distinctively Norse weapon of the Viking Age. From the one-handed bearded axe that doubled as a farm tool to the great two-handed Dane axe whose thin crescent blade could shear through shield and helmet, it was cheap to make, brutally effective, and carried by everyone from farmer-raiders to the huscarls of kings. Contemporary chroniclers from England to Byzantium remembered the Northmen by this weapon above all others, and surviving heads from graves and river finds number in the thousands.
