'''[[Authenticity:Hand Axes#Axe Types by Period|View Images of Axe Types by Period]]''' <br>'''[[Authenticity:Hand Axes#Kit Guide|View Kit Guide]]''' <br><br>* Axe hafts do not have to be round however whatever shape they are they should still be at least 30mm in one dimension.* It is encouraged to use a wooden wedge as opposed to metal wedges when hafting an axe.* If an axe is worn around the LHE a leather cover should be placed over the blade edge.* Metal axe rings are not allowable, cloth or leather holders may be used instead, or the axe handle can be put through the belt.* Axes marked with a red dot on the diagram are found in Scandinavian countries but not in the British Isles. They may be used as Viking specific ethnic kit.
