Genja is the impressive two-handed axe highly valued by the Vikings and equally feared by their foes. Unlike many other historical reproductions, it is fully handmade and forged according to ancient Viking techniques. The shaft matches the head in terms of craftsmanship and beauty. It is made of Swedish ash with Viking motifs skillfully hand-carved into the wood. Matching motifs have also been added to the head and the leather protector.
