A bearded axe, or Skeggox (from Old Norse ''Skegg'', beard + ''Ox'', axe) refers to various Axes , used as a tool and weapon, as early as the 6th Century AD. It is most commonly associated with Viking era Scandanavians.The cutting edge of the bearded axe extends below the width of the throat, providing a wide cutting surface while keeping the overall weight of the axe low. Additionally this design allows the user to grip the haft directly behind the head for planing or shaving wood. Variations of this design are still in use by modern woodworkers and some foresters. |
