Varek Axe – 60 cm Viking LARP Axe | Hammerkunst

Compact, rugged and ready for battle. The Varek Axe from the Hammerkunst series is a versatile foam LARP weapon created for Norse warriors, adventurers, mercenaries and fighters who prefer a manageable axe rather than an oversized battlefield weapon.

With a total length of 60 cm, Varek offers a compact profile suitable for dynamic combat, close formations and characters fighting alongside a shield. Its straightforward design also makes it easy to incorporate into Viking, medieval, low-fantasy and rugged adventurer costumes.

A rugged axe for Norse-inspired characters

The broad, gently curved 18 cm axe head features detailed texturing designed to resemble worked metal. Combined with the wood-effect shaft, it creates a convincing handcrafted appearance that feels at home in the hands of a seasoned warrior rather than hanging untouched on an armoury wall.

The handle features an imitation leather grip for secure handling during quick movements. Its compact proportions make Varek particularly suitable for shield fighters, skirmishers and solo adventurers looking for an uncomplicated weapon that complements rather than overwhelms their costume.

Designed for LARP combat

The axe is constructed from soft PU foam surrounding a full fibreglass core. It has been specifically designed for the safe portrayal of combat during live-action role-playing games, theatrical performances and similar activities.
