During the 10th century, Viking raiders were a familiar and dreaded sight. Ranging as far north as Russia and as far east as Constantinople, the Vikings wielded their terrible, fearsome battle axe. The influence of the Viking weapon indeed far out-lasted the reign of the Vikings themselves. Its sleek lines and brute strength may be seen today in axes, hatchets and tomahawks. The Cold Steel 90N Norse Hawk has a curved cutting edge to facilitate deep, slashing cuts and terminates in two sharp points which are useful in hand-to-hand combat. The bottom point may be used to capture an opponent’s shield, leg, arm, shoulder or neck, momentarily immobilizing or bringing him closer so that he’ll be easier to deal with. The top point may be used to execute direct chops or, with a thrusting motion, to pierce or gouge. The Norse Hawk is like its ancient Viking ancestors; merciless.
