The blade has a cross-shaped cut-out, a feature linked to Scandinavia's shift from paganism to Christianity. The cross may also have resembled Thor's hammer, which would have made it acceptable to people on both sides of that change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits living history, display, film and theatre, and collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 49 1\/2 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade (edge) length: 8 1\/16 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4 lb 3.7 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead: Cast iron with cross-shaped cut-out, C60 high-carbon steel blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaft: Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge: Unsharpened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCulture: Viking (Gotland, Sweden)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Deepeeka, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMeasurements are approximate, as each piece is handmade.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deepeeka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41410573697096,"sku":"AH3544","price":120.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5213\/8568\/files\/ah3544gotland10thc.vikingcrossaxe1.jpg?v=1792080583","url":"https:\/\/norsealley.com\/products\/gotland-viking-cross-axe-10th-century","provider":"Norse Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
