Ragnar Shaggy Breeches is a name that echoes through the sagas as a towering figure among the Vikings, known for legendary deeds like slaying a giant serpent to claim his bride. His legacy runs deep in the bloodlines of fierce warriors such as Ivar the Boneless and Bjorn Ironside, men who carved their mark on the Viking Age. Whether his tale is pure myth or grounded in history, the weapons tied to his name capture the rugged heart of the Norse warrior spirit.
This axe features a handle forged from solid ash wood, prized for its sturdy yet flexible nature,qualities that a warrior would rely on during the rigors of battle and long travels. The head is crafted from 2Cr13 stainless steel, a modern alloy chosen for its ability to hold a keen edge and resist rust, reflecting the Viking smiths’ pursuit of durable materials. Wrapped in leather, the grip offers a firm hold, crucial when swinging through the chaos of combat. The handle’s deep stain evokes the dense, shadowy forests of the North. With an overall length of 24-3/4 inches and a weight of 2 pounds, 4 ounces, the axe boasts a 5-3/4 inch cutting edge,enough to serve as both a tool and a weapon. It includes a leather belt hanger, allowing the warrior to keep the axe close at hand.
Fun fact: Viking warriors often carved or decorated their axes not just for battle readiness but to express their identity and status,turning each weapon into a story told in steel and wood, much like Ragnar’s axe.
