Viking Double handle Axe Darkar Blade

🔨 Double Handle Axe – Description

A double handle axe features two handles instead of one, which can be arranged in different configurations depending on its purpose:

1. Parallel Double Handles

• Design: Two handles positioned side by side or slightly apart, both connected to a single axe head.

• Purpose: Offers enhanced grip, greater control, or increased strength for two-handed swings. Sometimes used for training or teamwork demonstrations.

2. Opposite Handles (Double-Ended)

• Design: Handles extending in opposite directions from the axe head, possibly allowing two users to hold it simultaneously.

• Purpose: Mostly ceremonial, theatrical, or symbolic; rarely practical for actual chopping.

3. Cross-Handled or X-Handled

• Design: Handles form an “X” or cross pattern for a unique grip or visual style.

• Purpose: Decorative, cosplay, or fantasy weaponry.

🪓 Features:

• Blade: Can be single- or double-bladed.

• Handles: Wood, steel, or composite materials.

• Use: Primarily decorative, symbolic, or as part of fantasy gear (e.g., in movies, games, or reenactments).

• Weight: Heavier than standard axes due to extra material.

• Balance: May be unorthodox or require special training to wield effectively.
