Taking after the Vikings' ferocious nature, the Cold Steel Norse Hawk is a powerful and fearsome axe. This tough-looking tomahawk has a mighty drop-forged blade that works for both chopping and throwing. The rigid hickory handle balances out the axe and lessens shock force from chops.

Why choose this axe?

• Curved cutting edge facilitates deep, slashing cuts
• Sharp, pointed blade ends allow for minor piercing tasks
• Precision drop-forged 1055 carbon steel is fully hardened
• Hickory handle is durable and securely houses axe head, easily absorbing chopping shock
• Modelled after traditional Viking raider axes

Why not?

• 1055 carbon steel requires frequent sharpening
• Hickory wood handle requires oiling to prevent wear

Pro Tip:
Knives and tools with wood handles require more attentive care than other more robust materials, like G10 or mircata. Prolonged exposure to heat or water can cause them to swell or crack, resulting in flawed grip. Always wash wood handles by hand and oil them at least once a year.
