    Really neat stuff, I love the fact you can even see where they parried against other swords.

      These are not parry marks. No trained fighter has parried with the striking edge. You only see something like that in Hollywood. It would have destroyed both blades. Parrying was done with the shield and, if necessary, with the width of the blade by giving the blow a different direction, not by stopping the blow

    Thanks. I've always wondered about the wide tangs on seax. I never knew they were thin. It's interesting that the the chipping on the sword blade is mostly one side. One theory is that one side was used for parry and the other for cutting. There are examples of pommels off set and twisted to fit the hand better, and one article claiming one side of some swords was thicker than the other.

    My wife''s family had Danish roots from the 'Gunn' (Danish 'Gunnar' i.e. 'Spearman or Warrior')Clan.
    Fortunately ((to use an English idiom for an "overbearing Mother in Law' ) she wasn't exactly a 'Battle Axe.' though we weren't close.
    What''s the difference between 'Outlaws and Inlaws?'
    'OUTLAWS' are 'WANTED' LOL

    This is great. Thank you! I’ve been wanting to buy a Viking battle axe but am hesitant because I don’t know how to authenticate them. Assuming they’re authentic, is there a sure fire way to make sure it’s a battle axe and not a farm axe? Through the shape or something?
