Using your Viking axe is easy. For hiking, it can be used to clear small branches or cut kindling. When doing small jobs around the house or campsite, it's great for chopping small pieces of wood. To use it, hold the shaft firmly with both hands and swing with controlled force. Make sure to keep your feet stable and maintain a safe distance from others. When not in use, always put the felt sheath on the blade to protect the sharp edge and prevent any accidental cuts. For maintenance, clean the blade with a dry cloth after each use. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to avoid rusting. Once in a while, you can use a light oil on the blade to keep it in good condition. Store the axe in a dry place to maintain its quality.
