Customer's Sterk Vorley axe held high in a room

Stephen L.

I bought an axe as a present for my son. He absolutely loved it and wants another to start a collection. I was completely unaware it was made in Ukraine until it arrived with a post mark which made me even more happy I bought it. I’ll be placing my next order soon.

Customer's hand-forged Vindflaug axe with a wooden handle and leather wrap, resting on a flat surface.

Robert M.

Beautiful axe, it was well crafted and sharp as can be. I bought this as a gift for a friend. Our only complaint is the head wrap could be a bit tighter to help secure the head. Other than that, it's Beautiful. I want to buy one for myself.

The whole process was extremely smooth and quick. The craftsmanship was incredible and I can tell they put a lot of love into what they do. My significant other was extremely thrilled and showed all his friends. I am a happy customer and I will buy more from here.

Customer video review of Mjolnir hammer steel version 26.45lb Glow-in-the-Dark Runes

Matt R.

The hammer is a 10/10, looks exactly like the game. The weight to it is also really good. Perfect thing to ask your friends if they are strong enough to pick up Thors Hammer. Thank you again for the great deal!.

Customer photo review of Hand forged tomahawk "Nanook"

Kim B.

I bought this nanook tomahawk mostly for camping and hunting. It's incredibly well made and sharp! Since my purchase, I've incorporated it in my Kali training. Formidable weapon! Perfect balance and size! I work in a rough area. This is a great deterrent to people wanting to do harm. Seeing someone walking with a tomahawk tends to make people think twice about starting trouble. Little do they know, I'm taking it into work every day to poke vent holes into 5 gallon cans to pour out the contents e...

Lorenzo F.

Purchased both GOW axe and wall mount and both look absolutely amazing in my man cave. The details in both are just simply stunning. Would definitely recommend and will be ordering again in the future.

Customer video review of Tomahawk tactical "Alvaldi" with micarta handle

Frank W.

I love this axe, beauty and a beast, the video shows good penetration of the axe in solid oak, you can see the damage created already to the target on the right. I have two others of this style but without the spike and with wood grips. This is definitely my favourite, the micarta looks great and provides better grip in damp slippery conditions. A truly awesome piece that performs as good as it looks. Congratulations AS a superb addition to your range 🪓👌🏼

Tomahawk tactical "Alvaldi" with micarta handle

Fumihiro O.

This Tomahawk not only has a great appearance but also excels in functionality and durability. I am very satisfied with my purchase. It is a very well-crafted product. While its beautiful design makes it suitable as a decorative item, I use it as a regular "axe" for outdoor tasks. The spike also works exceptionally well. For those who are hesitant about purchasing it, I highly recommend going ahead with the purchase. You won't regret it.

Igor W.

The blade has good weigt to it, Sharp points and balance all together. The handel is very well made and solid and the edge is sharp for its intended use. Would recommend for the size and quality of it.

Michael O.

Solid and well crafted. This is not some cheapo knock-off that will fall apart within a year. It is a beautiful work of art that I absolutely love. Has great weight and displays as a centerpiece. I highly recommend the smiths that created this.

Customer photo review of Compact tactical tomahawk with polymer composite handle

Roland S.

I had previously purchased one of the tomahawks. The price was very reasonable so I was expecting a functional, good quality survival / fighting tool. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. The quality was far better than I expected! The tomahawk was beautifully crafted, with a great detail! And when I put it to work, it exceeded my expectations! It held the edge well, but it was also easy and quick to sharpen it! I was so impressed that I purchased another one! Great job, An...

Customer photo review of Hand-forged "Ragnarok Kratos axe" with carved handle and Luminescent runes

Georgios L.

I am loving it!! The level of detail and build quality is great!! I had it a long time on my list to buy it but when the option of luminescent runes was launched it was a no brainer for me. And I wasn't disappointed 🙂 🙂

Customer's 'Vargr' throwing axe with a carved handle embedded in a wooden practice target.

John O.

It's great fun and exercise to do axe throwing. I have other practice axes, however these are my own personal favorites. The build is very nice and the head is tight to the handle. Beautiful finish work. I like to display them also. Note that they should be left out of the leather covers to avoid rust. The balance is great and I was hitting the bulls-eye in no time. They adorn my armory wall when not in use, and this set is used exclusively by me only. Each has it's own name, thoughtfully carved...

Customer's custom Jotungard axe with double black blades and a wooden handle displayed upright on the floor.

Arnau S.

I gave it to my brother for his birthday, and honestly... it was amazing! The look of surprise on his face was priceless! The service was top-notch; I’m really grateful to the team! I’ll definitely be ordering another gift from you guys!☺️

Frank G.

I’m always little skeptical of overseas products, so I usually research before I buy. I didn’t see any red flags with Ancient Smithy, so I made the purchase. They updated me the entire time and when it was shipped, I was able to track it the entire time. I’m very happy with thec way my axe turned out. It’s beautiful. I’m making a plaque to hang it from out of black walnut. When I’m done I’ll upload another picture. Thank you

Customer video review of Leviathan Kratos axe with carved handle 34.25"

Cody K.

Beautiful axe! The detail of the ruins in the blade and axe head are amazing. The carving of the handle is also very well done. Axe is quite hefty and feels very sturdy. I haven’t used it on anything yet but seems like it would hold up to just about anything you would need any to put it through. I would recommend this product to anyone who is the market for a cool axe or is a God of War fan.

Customer video review of Enhance Your Axe Setup – Drakkar Wall Mount

Sebastiano M.

Wonderful stand. Beautiful and impressive design!! Despite the weight of the axe, the stand holds up very well, thanks to the meticulous calculations for the type of attachment!! I would only recommend adding some soft material at the contact points of the replicas, as I did, simple double-sided tape and felt!!

Anthony L.

I was very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship that went into this axe. I brought as a gift for my father and it did not disappoint. I'm very jealous, so I'll be looking into getting on for myself.

This was a retirement gift for a friend and they loved it! The hammer is gorgeous and savage at the same time. I also purchased a box to go with it, and a personal touch was added perfectly. Highly recommend! Great craftsmanship!

Andrew H.

Saw it on the website and had to have it! The quality and craftsmanship are second to none. If you love traditional weapons like I do you must have an Ancient Smithy axe in your collection. Already know which axe is next. Thanks again.

This was a Christmas gift for our 18 year old son. After much research we finally found your site and fell in love with this piece. It was the perfect addition to his viking themed Christmas. Thank you so much for answering all questions and even though our order was last minute, it was received before Christmas! It is beautifully crafted and more than we could have ever hoped for! Thank you so much for making our holiday a dream come true!

Customer video review of Make It Unique – Custom Engraving

Robert D.

I recently purchased an axe from Ancient Smithy, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the craftsmanship. While the piece didn’t look exactly like the photos on the website, the quality and detail far exceeded my expectations. The engraving I requested was executed flawlessly and truly elevated the piece. Considering the level of detail involved, I was pleasantly surprised by the turnaround time. I placed the order in January and received it within a month. Throughout the process, every questio...

Joanne R.

Good business to deal with - friendly and informative. The item was also shipped fast. I appreciate the handwritten letter within. The axe itself is so well made and worth every penny. It was bought for a 30th birthday present and he loved it. Would definitely recommend anyone to buy it if you are on the fence - it really is so well made and this business evidently puts lots of skill and effort to create their goods! Thanks :)

Customer photo review of Nordic axe "Ares"

Timothy S.

I have ordered a Tomahawk & 2 Axes from Ancient Smithy. This purchase was a gift for a friend and they are absolutely in love with this axe! This axe is INCREDIBLY SHARP, it is sharper than my other battle axe from Ancient Smithy, and the one I got for myself is more what i would expect in terms of sharpness from a battle axe. But we were SERIOUSLY impressed with this Axe. All 3 pieces I have gotten from ancient smithy have been absolutely incredible, each a beautiful forged blade AND fully func...

This hammer was a birthday gift for my teenage godson. He loves it! He collects knives like a lot of boys his age, but this is a step above. This hammer elevates his entire collection.

Customer's engraved Viking Axe 'Vindflaug' featuring gold 'COOK' lettering and black leather wrapping on the handle.

Xavier D.

The axe came beautifully, my only issue would be the that there is no wedge so it’s slightly loose. But we use it on smaller things it works really well. I bought this as a gift for my best friend and he loves it. We did not know that the engraving would come painted and that was a lovely touch. It made the axe stand out and look 10 times better. The leather on this axe is absolutely beautiful.

Customer photo review of Wooden stand for axe Black 22"

Richard H.

I recently received this wooden stand. The shipping process was clear and easy to follow. The stand itself was wrapped in protective foam sheets and shipped in a sturdy box. I'm very satisfied with the stand; it's a well-made product, feels solid, and blends seamlessly with the axe. Thanks to this wooden stand, my axe now takes pride of place on my cabinet at home. I consider it a valuable addition.

Michael B.

Solid Hawks, very well made. Feels good in the hand with good weight and balance. I’m no Tomahawk expert but these seem solid and durable, wouldn’t want to be on the business end of it. I’m a huge Terminal List fan as some will notice the mounting. Thanks for the great product, keep up the excellent craftsmanship.
