Petersen Type C axes are used between the 8th - 10th centuries. Type C axes are not found in the UK but found quite regularly in the Scandinavian countries.
​
My hand forged axes are left forged blackened with the cutting edge polished on sharp axes. I can polish the entire axe head for an extra £50, please specify you want the axe polishing when making your order. 
​
The blade protector is made from oak and based on a find from Hedeby for a hand axe. If you would like one when you order your axe please select it on the order form.
​
The haft is made from ash and bottom hafted.
