Pros: Construction, Handle Material
Cons: None
From a Vikings point of view.
This is an item that any 10th century viking would be proud to own. The hardened edge is a medium RC probably around 52-55. The rest of the head is annealed for shock absorbtion. The handle is kind of a light or medium hardwood and if a bad hit was struck, it could break. A hickory handle would be a nice addition. Other than that this bearded axe is the real deal and is fully battle ready!!
