Historic Viking Skeggøx Bearded Axe – 22 Inch Handle, Functional Damascus Edge
This Viking Skeggøx features an extended 22 inch handle and a hand forged Damascus steel edge. JW SteelCrafts builds this bearded axe for reach, leverage, and working performance in outdoor and camp settings.
Key Specifications
- Overall handle length: 22 inches
- Hand forged Damascus steel cutting edge
- Traditional bearded Skeggøx blade profile

Extended Handle Advantage
The 22 inch handle increases striking power while maintaining control. You gain better leverage for splitting and chopping. The added length also supports two hand use for heavier tasks.
Traditional Skeggøx Geometry
The lowered beard extends the cutting edge and reduces overall head weight. You can choke up near the blade for carving and shaping. The profile reflects historical Scandinavian axe forms used for both work and utility.
Damascus Steel Performance
JW SteelCrafts forges layered high carbon steels under heat and pressure. This process strengthens the cutting edge and produces a distinct Damascus pattern. Each axe carries a unique forged surface.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning
Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish. - Dry Thoroughly
After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture. - Proper Storage
Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials. - Avoid Impact
While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece. - Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity. - Routine Inspection
Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.
By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
