Paul Chen Throwing Axe Franziska, antique finish Hanwei HN-XH2120N

Paul Chen Throwing Axe, Frankish Francisca

The Francisca, named for its Frankish origins, was used by the Franks as a throwing and close-combat weapon.

The elegant shape of this axe is legendary, and the raised upper blade point and downward-curving edge could equally penetrate chainmail.

This Francisca, manufactured by Paul Chen at the Hanwei forge, features a forged axe head with a weathered grey appearance, as well as a hardwood shaft thickened at the top, ensuring the axe head is securely held. As with the originals, the shaft is also slightly curved backward to increase the axe's adherence potential when thrown.

From Hanwei.
