Medieval Murder Axe

Acquire Medieval Homicidal Axe

Medieval murderous axe

On the medieval battlefield, the pollaxe ( pollaxe or poleaxe ) was the great equalizer between the simple foot soldier and the incredibly powerful knight, thanks to its great reach and penetration. Surprisingly smooth, it was the machine gun of its time and simply unstoppable thanks to its maneuverability.

Today's murder axe still possesses the same characteristics that made it so famous on the battlefields of yesteryear. As capable of defeating modern armor as it was that of ancient knights, it demonstrates true performance.

Through years of experimentation and cross-training with axes, glaives, halberds, and other polearms and clubs from around the world, and by studying a variety of fighting cultures, Lynn C. Thompson, founder of Cold Steel®, discovered the incredible potential of the polearm against legions of opponents, even those equipped with modern armor and gadgets. Having long held a special affection for this weapon, she decided to launch her own modern interpretation of this impressive instrument.

The Cold Steel® Assassin Axe is expertly forged from 1055 carbon steel. The razor-sharp axe blade and sturdy hammer head are tempered differently. This means their ends are hard, while the rest of the body is slightly softer to absorb blows and impacts.

The durable ash wood shaft is made in the USA and reinforced with black steel springs.
