At Medieval Collectibles, we specialize in high-quality, battle-ready single-headed axes, revered for their formidable strength and functional artistry. The single-headed battle axe, a weapon of choice for Nordic warriors, was famed for its ability to cleave through helms and armor with ease. Despite its lack of precision compared to a sword, its impact on the battlefield was undeniable, instilling terror among adversaries.

What Is a Medieval Battle Axe?
A medieval battle axe typically features a crescent-shaped blade or axe head, about 25 cm (10 inches) in length, crafted from iron, steel, or sometimes bronze, mounted on a wooden shaft or handle. The shaft varies in length from about five feet for longer axes to one foot for shorter variants. These weapons were a common armament for foot soldiers and occasionally knights.
What Was the Medieval Axe Used For?
Medieval battle axes, which were cheaper than swords, were crucial for close combat and were wielded by foot soldiers and knights. They required the user to be within close range of their opponent. The simplicity of the single-headed battle axe meant it required less skill than a throwing axe, yet it remained a formidable weapon capable of penetrating armor and causing fatal injuries.
The Middle Ages, marked by frequent battles and wars, saw the battle axe as a versatile weapon. Its simplicity allowed for adaptation into various styles, such as the pole axe, which was effective against charging enemy infantry. The battle axe’s accessibility made it a popular choice among commoners serving as soldiers, with many using their everyday wood-chopping axes as weapons in times of need.
