Sagaris War Axe

According to the historical record, Alexander the Great of Macedon was not only a great world conqueror, he was the kind of leader to fight in the front lines alongside his troops. At the Battle of Issus circa 333 BCE, Alexander almost lost his life to the Persian satraps and royal guards wielding the Sagaris War Axe.

At the heart of this Persian battle axe is its hand forged construction, ensuring durability and battle-readiness to make the Great King proud. Beyond being an icon of the Persian satraps, this Sagaris axe is a significant piece of Hellenic and Persian history.

Were it not for the efforts of Cleitus the Black, Alexander’s trusted general, history would be radically different. With this Sagaris War Axe, you too can step into the shoes of the Persian guards protecting the Great King Darius, eager to fight.

Not to mention, the short bearded axe head, paired with a sharp pick, offers versatility in combat with strategic finesse. To clarify, this weapon can be used in SCA combat, though for safety reasons its edge and spike have been dulled.

Securely fastened with steel rivets to the carbon steel knob and axe head, this Persian axe ensures a firm grip and balance to change the course of battle. With a total length of around two feet, this ancient battle axe is as imposing as it is manageable, ideal for display or in the heat of mock battle.
