In the realm of tools, some designs are timeless. The Freyr™ tactical axe is a testament to this truth, crafted with the insight and experience of designer and veteran Elmer Roush. Its form pays homage to the Viking axes that once dominated battlefields across Europe—yet it has been refined for modern utility without compromising its heritage.
The heart of this formidable tool lies in its blade, meticulously forged from hot 1055 carbon steel. This material choice ensures durability and resilience, capable of handling rigorous tasks with ease. The deep beard design not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also increases functionality by allowing closer hand placement for fine control during use.
The handle is fashioned from Tennessee hickory—a wood renowned for strength and shock absorption—providing a reliable grip even under challenging conditions. With an overall length of 16.13 inches (409.58 mm) and a weight just shy of two pounds (1.79 lb or 0.81 kg), it strikes an ideal balance between heft and maneuverability.
The blade itself measures 4.53 inches (115.01 mm) in length with a plain edge designed for clean cutting performance, finished with magnesium phosphate coating to resist corrosion while adding an understated finish that complements its robust nature.
Whether you seek a tool steeped in history or one engineered for practicality today, the Freyr™ tactical axe delivers both tradition and innovation seamlessly combined into one powerful instrument.
