Named for Ragnar Lodbrok
Ragnar Lodbrok is the legendary Viking hero whose raids and saga echo through the Norse tradition and the Vikings series. This is our full two-handed long axe — not the one-handed Skeggøx Ragnar — and one of our largest, finished by hand through etching, oxidising, carving and engraving. Compare it with the rest of our Viking axes.
