Francisca Axe Historically Accurate, Fully Functional, AntiquedHigh Carbon Blade Differentially Hardened & Recurved Hardwood Handle18.25” Overall, 3.5” Blade Length Paul Chen | Hanwei Forge, XH2020N ••• The Francisca, so named for its Frankish origins, was used by the Vikings both as a throwing weapon and for close-quarters combat. Its graceful lines are legendary; the upswept point and downturned edge were both capable of penetrating chain mail and pretty much any armor of that time. This version is crafted by Paul Chen at the Hanwei factory and features a forged head with a fire-gray or antiqued finish and a swelled-end hardwood shaft for secure head retention. The shaft is also backswept, as were the originals, providing much greater striking and sticking capability when thrown. See the wikipedia entry for ‘Francesca’ for more details about how this style axe was used in battle, famous for breaking enemy lines. This is a rugged, battle ready reproduction of Viking axes used by Franks, Normans, and Saxons from as early as 500 A.D. Antiqued to look like it’s been adventuring for generations, built to last for many more. Paul Chen designs, manufactured by Hanwei Forge, are world renowned for rugged, battle ready reproductions.

Please see this note from sword Manufacturer Guide online; …it is especially important when buying Paul Chen Hanwei swords online to avoid shopping based on price alone, as many of the sellers who stock them at close to wholesale prices are selling seconds or defective items that should have been inspected and sent back to the factory as per Hanwei’s usual policy with their wholesalers.
