This level of carbon ensures that the blade maintains a sharp edge, crucial for both cutting and combat efficiency. 1095 steel is known for its exceptional hardness, typically ranging between 56-58 HRC. However, high carbon steel like 1095 can be less flexible, which is a crucial quality for impact resistance in battle conditions. To counter this, the axe blade undergoes a clay tempering process. This involves applying a thick clay coating to the blade, except for the edge, during the quenching process. The clay insulates and slows the cooling of the treated areas, resulting in a blade with a razor-sharp edge and a more flexible body, optimizing both strength and sharpness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAxe Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHandle Material: Durable wood, crafted for a comfortable and secure grip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOverall Length: 34 inches, reflecting the traditional size of Viking axes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAx Head Size: 8 inches, designed for effective chopping and combat utility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRockwell Hardness: 56-58 HRC, ensuring a durable and long-lasting edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSheath: A custom-fitted leather sheath for safe storage and transport.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade Material: High Carbon 1095 Steel, chosen for its edge retention and hardness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSummary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Viking Axe, measuring 34 inches in length and crafted from High Carbon 1095 Steel, is a formidable representation of the Scandinavian Bearded Axe.
