Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have always wondered about this historic ax and when reading a history of the Franks my interest was renewed. I think at just under $70.00 that it was not cheap but for me a good price. Smaller than I expected, although I'm sure it is the size advertised, it is a work of art as much as a tool/weapon. The curves are beautiful and well balanced. There is a slight curve to the handle, that is mentioned in the historic accounts. I have not thrown it and probably won't although as a weapon this was a chief use first by the Franks and later by the Vikings. The antiqued finish makes it look like it had been buried and recovered and I feel I'll have to keep it well oiled. I wish the company had included a catalog as I would like to more from tis company. A beautiful ax!

The Francisca,so named for its Frankish origins,was used by the Vikings both as a throwing weapon and for close-quarters combat.Its graceful lines are legendary but the upswept point and downturned edge were both capable of penetrating chain mail.The Francisca features a forged head with a fire-gray or antiqued finish and a swelled-end hardwood shaft for secure head retention.
