The Viking Axe by JW SteelCrafts is a bold, hand-forged piece inspired by Norse design. It features a carbon steel head with a clean black powder-coated finish, set on a long 25-inch handle for a strong, balanced presence. The wide-bearded shape captures the classic Viking look that collectors and history fans love.
This axe makes a striking wall or shelf centerpiece and works well for Norse-themed décor, reenactment styling, and gifting. Because each piece is hand-forged, small differences in finish and grain add to its artisan-made charm.
The Viking axe, often called the bearded axe or Skeggøx, was one of the most important tools of the Norse world from the 8th to 11th centuries. Its lower blade "beard" lets users grip higher for control, while the wide edge makes it useful for both daily work and field tasks. Affordable and effective, it became far more common than the sword among everyday Norse people. Over time, it grew into a lasting symbol of Viking heritage and craft. Today, hand-forged Viking axes like this one are prized as collector and display pieces that celebrate that bold Scandinavian legacy.

They hang easy!
Color: C. Rustic Brown Board & Black Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 23-inch, Color: C. Rustic Brown Board & Black Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 23-inch
I got my shelves well packaged. No defects. I did find it odd that the photos show a third way of hanging them where the brackets are hidden, but it's the only two top shown in the product photo of the hanging options that are shown on the instructions. It's easy enough anyway to hang without any instructions and I chose the second one shown anyway. They're good quality and look nice on my wall. Color is accurate and holds all my stuff the way I'd hoped/imagined. I wanted shelves that didn't stick out too far from the wall and they're a great fit. Super sturdy!

Great product!
Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 3, Size: 16-inch Mixed, Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 3, Size: 16-inch Mixed
The feeling of the shelf itself is a little off but it was super easy to put together and looks great! It comes with a mounting guide but I didn’t need it. I didn’t use to wall anchors and just screwed them into the wall and they haven’t been a problem at all!

Avoid the GOLD brackets. The finish is NOT accurate.
Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch, Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch
I bought the BLACK/GOLD shelves because the ones in the photo seemed to match the drawer pull knobs I bought (shown in photo below). The product arrived neatly packed in a 17x6x4in. box. I can only assume the shelves themselves are great, but I only made it as far as inspecting the metal brackets sitting at the top, they feel heavy duty, which is great, but the product's photo posted in Amazon shows a nice gold finish, and these brackets have a dark mustard paint finish (with a couple blueish speckles sprinkled into it), there's nothing gold/metallic about it. The paint color reminded me of long-gone diaper-changing days. These are getting returned asap.

Simple, easy, and strong
Size: 16 Inch, Color: White
Kind of on the smaller side but for the price it’s just fine. Easy to install with just a screw driver if you can miss a stud, else you’ll need a drill. Strong enough to hold what a normal person would put on a shelf that size. No worries and it looks great
