Description

The Lightweight Buhurt Axe is a compact one-handed weapon designed for armored combat. With a length of 62 cm (24.4 in) and a weight of approximately 1 kg (2.2 lb), it offers practical handling for fighters who prefer a lighter axe.

The reinforced wooden handle features additional wrapping near the axe head. This improves grip and helps protect the shaft from wear during regular use. Meanwhile, the rounded rear section of the axe head avoids the protruding hammerhead found on some other designs.

Lightweight Buhurt Axe for Better Handling

At approximately 1 kg (2.2 lb), this axe offers a relatively lightweight option for armored combat. Its 62 cm (24.4 in) length also keeps the weapon compact, which helps when fighting at close range.

The shorter handle makes the axe easier to position during clinches and crowded exchanges. In addition, its manageable weight helps reduce fatigue during repeated strikes and weapon repositioning.

However, the axe still requires proper control, especially when fighting at close range against other armored opponents.

Reinforced Wooden Handle

The axe features a wooden shaft with additional reinforcement and wrapping near the head. This area experiences considerable stress during armored combat, particularly when the handle contacts an opponent’s weapon or armor.

The wrapping helps protect the wood from surface damage while providing additional grip near the axe head. As a result, the handle offers better durability during regular training and tournament use.

Rounded Rear Section Without a Hammerhead

Unlike axes with a hammer or spike on the opposite side, this model features a rounded rear section without a hammerhead.

This construction keeps the rear profile compact and avoids an additional striking projection. The axe also features a blade thickness of at least 4 mm (0.16 in).

Choose Your Axe Head Shape

This product is available with several axe head designs. While the general dimensions and construction remain similar, the exact head shape varies between options.

Please check the photographs of your selected variation before ordering. The variation images show the actual axe head shape you will receive.

Axes FAQ


Axes

A standard one-handed axe is intended primarily for buhurt melees and group battles. It is not permitted in sword and shield, sword and buckler, or longsword duel categories. However, a Type 3 long axe may qualify for the polearm duel category if it meets the required weight, length, edge, safety, and authenticity standards. Final approval is always given during the tournament weapon inspection.

A strong wooden haft is the correct choice because steel hafts are prohibited under current tournament requirements. A modern material may be accepted only if it reproduces the appearance, handling, and stiffness of wood. The haft must be strong enough for full-contact combat, and the steel axe head must be fixed with at least two securing methods, such as wedges, glue, straps, rivets, nails, or langets.

Yes, a buhurt axe may have a rebated hook or hammerhead on the non-striking side. However, it must not have any sharp or pointed edges, and striking an opponent with the hook or hammerhead is prohibited. Every point on the permitted striking edge must form an angle greater than 90 degrees. The complete weapon must pass the tournament equipment inspection before use.

A Type 2 hafted axe must weigh between 0.7 and 1.3 kg. These axes measure 50 to 90 cm and are commonly used as compact, one-handed weapons. A Type 3 long axe must weigh between 1.3 and 2.5 kg and measure 90 to 130 cm. A permissible upward measurement tolerance of 100 g applies, but fighters should select a weight they can control safely throughout a full battle.

While we understand the appeal of a sharp blade, we strongly advise against it for several reasons. First, sharpening our swords could compromise the carefully crafted bluntness designed for safe sparring. This can increase the risk of injury not only for yourself but also for your opponent. Second, depending on your location, owning or carrying a sharpened sword might violate local laws and regulations. Therefore, we recommend sticking with our safe and legal blunted swords to enjoy armored combat without any unnecessary risks or complications.

Absolutely not! All our swords/falchions/axes and other weapons are carefully blunted and rounded according to the strictest armored combat league regulations. We prioritize your safety above all else, so you can experience the power and thrill of armored combat without worrying about accidental cuts or punctures. Remember, sharp swords are not only dangerous and prohibited in armored combat but also often restricted by local laws, so our blunted blades ensure you train and fight with confidence and peace of mind.
