So this is what santa does in the summer
SoMenSayThatImIntenseOrImInsane
Paging @vikingbucket. Don't lie, this is actually a picture of you!!

So who is he?
FenrirOdinslayer
Cant tell if SCA or not.
Drapetomanius
Skeggox!

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
marvster
I'm real handy with women, but all I get is slapped
PartTimeViking
nice
triocon
Poser. Bet he doesn't even rape or pillage. Can he even name 5 of their songs?
GodEmperorOfImgur
Say, where might I find this wise old man? I would very much want to learn from him, and NOT kill him in honorable combat.
ShamnusMcfee
Also why axes, spears, and daggers were more common than swords. Swords were more expensive.
jasta6
If this floats your boat, you should look up a guy named Richard Proenneke. Dude was more manly than I'll ever be.
Ishotdirtysanchez
It's seems it's not that hard to do
RAGESTARVED
I bet it had more to do with saving mass. As much as fantasy games disagree (i.e.
) moving big things is hard.

Also cutting is more efficient with a curved rather than straight blade.
Fuzzynubz
CROM!
cptcr
if he were a true viking he wouldn't look like an old man who shits himself in his sleep
steviEa
I want this guy to mentor me so badly
thispostreallysucks
I talked to this guy for an hour last weekend. He's legit! If you are still in town let's hang

The Iron Price means he took it off someone he killed. If he made it himself, that'd be the opposite. "We do not sow."
Glidingboulder
Game of thrones is fiction dude.
CapitalizingOnTheAbsenseOfAReasonableUsernameCharacterLimit
There was an A Game of Thrones reference in the title.

You misspelled *true yard *gnome*.

The asterisks in this comment bother me.

Two words....Golden Axe
TheBioluminescence
He's adorable ♡
Kitakita
Curved axe huh? Well did you hear about those Regards from Hammerfell? They've got curved swords. Curved. Swords.
circlebreaker
Great for slicing peons at high speed from horseback. You can avoid the whole, sword-caught-in-bone fiasco.
LongCommentChainAppreciator
I fuck love slicing peons, sometimes it's all I do in the day. Ugh life is such tedious.
DremStiildViing
You have my regards.... to protect you. Bandits are all about these days...
Kitakita
It's the fukin autocorrect on mobile man. Redguards!

As already mentioned, the beard on the axe is for hooking shields to yank them down, nothing to do with saving iron. Axes, spears, and long+
manimatr0n
+knives/short swords have always been more common than longer blades. Also, this is some Grade A Premium Title Gore you got here.
Ishotdirtysanchez
It's both Iron was worth a lot ; we can both be correct
manimatr0n
Well, we could, if you hadn't asserted that was the reason the axe was shaped as such. It was for warfare, not iron content.

Gå och dra något gammalt över dig
TheFailMaster
those actually look like tools for traditional boat building, not warfare...
Vydrach
The "beard" of the axe was also useful to pull weapons out of hands or shields down.
HsuDoNihm
And the "axe" of the axe was useful for chopping.
HypotheticalHypothetical
as well as hooking ankles
Vonstapler
You could also hold the ax by the shaft under the beard if you were in too close and had to use it in a punching motion

TheBrokenRuler
Had a mid-evil weaponry demo done on me, he hooked me behind the head with the opening from the bearded axe and fucking headbutted me.
TheBrokenRuler
It was metal as fuck
DeliciousMeats
I use the beard of my axe to do carpentry
Talmorean
NOT THE BEARD!
GodEmperorOfImgur
Yes, vikings even weaponized beards.
UnpinionedPoplars
And beardized weapons
BeardedViking
Sooooo, does that mean I'm relevant?
GodEmperorOfImgur
Yes, yes it does.
BeardedViking
Good. Would've been heresy otherwise.
