Sheath as extra Option- 6th Anniversary Gift.

Axe head. Viking axe.

There are 1657 axe head for sale on Etsy, and they cost USD 76.45 on average.

The most common axe head material is carbon steel.

As we all know, this kind of weapon would be a great companion on ANY lonely road or pasture.

A Shepherds Axe is a toolweapon that originated in the Carpathian Mountains and spread throughout Eastern Europe.

Interestingly, they came from Wallachia, the homeland of Vlad the Impaler (Dracula).

Its a light axe head; with a hammer poll mounted on a shaft long enough to be a walking stick.

These axes were the constant companion of the lonely shepherd, but they were also used in warfare.

I already have the perfect axe head, a Cold Steel Trail Hawk.

All I have to do is whittle a 35 handle (thats the perfect length for me, 12 my body height).

In a traditional Shepherds Axe, the head is flush with the end of the handle, so it better be set well before you trim it.

Heres the Cold Strrel Trail Hawk (For those of you who dont know).

Its dropped forged, carbon steel, differentially heat treated.

I think a real Romainian Shepherd from the 17th century would have given his eye-teeth for one.

The first photo shows a valaka, or ciupaga: The second one is a fokos.

The Hungarian fokos was originally a light cavalry weapon, and was widely used by Hungarian light cavalry and irregulars until the 18th Century.

By the early 20th century only a few herdsmen used it, if at all.

The valaka, or ciupaga remained in use for a lot longer, not only by herdsmen in the mountains, but also by the swine herders in the plains.

They all seem to follow the same formula; small axe head with a hammer poll, mounted on a walking stick.

I went to a Hammer In last month and one of the attendees was walking with a vala353;ka.

Now that you mention it, the Trail Hawk does look like a likely fokosh mod.

I believe TOPS had a fokosh similar to that one some years back as well.
