Do you know how they say that two heads are always better than one? Well, were inclined to think that they are right, especially if they are talking about battle axes, because this Double-Headed Medieval War Axe certainly has an impressive look to it! A symmetrical, second bladed head not only adds an additional striking edge, but also weight and versatility, too! The increased mass of the head makes each swing that much heftier, while the reversed striking blade ensures that you do not have to rotate the axe to get a good back-handed swing in. Instead, you can just swing one direction, then immediately reverse it and get similar results! The axe head is crafted from carbon steel and features two curved blades, both of which have a trio of small, carved out circle accents. The axe head is mounted to a hardwood haft that is reinforced with langets along its upper half. Studded rivets down on the lower half show where it is best held and help provide a secure grip. This axe certainly looks like the weapon of a powerful warrior, and indeed, this Double-headed Medieval War Axe is just that. Display it with pride, show it off at a medieval festival, or add it to your weapon collection.

This double-headed Medieval War Axe is a beast! Very sharp-looking and impressive! The high-carbon steel double-bladed axe-head is bolted onto the Ashwood haft by a brass top-bolt. The two opposing axe-blades each have three circular cutouts in the center of each blade, which looks really cool. If the blade-complete were removed, the shape would resemble the “Batman” symbol. The dark colored ash haft has two langets, fore and aft. The purpose of langets is NOT to better attach the blade-head; but to fortify and strengthen the wooden haft: keeping it secure from splintering or breaking with the shock of the axe striking a solid object. Towards the end of the haft near the bottom, there are 45 or so steel studs to prevent the haft slipping from the wielder’s hands should the haft become slippery from brain matter, blood, and gore. This double-headed axe is awesome. It has a bit of heft to it but is not cumbersomely heavy. I would judge this weapon to be “battle-ready”; given the design, materials used in construction, and construction of the weapon itself. Although I cannot positively attest to that battle-readiness until I have dispatched a few Vikings, or worse, Frenchmen. I give this warrior’s double-headed axe a solid 5-stars!
