Comments by "Anders Juel Jensen" (@andersjjensen) on "The Axe in Viking Age Iceland: Both Weapon and Tool" video.
That bearded axe is an "omni tool". I have one much like it as an heirloom from my great great grand father who was a carpenter. They were used in place of a saw. If you have the skill set you can make pretty decent planks with them, and they're excellent for roughing out joinery before doing the fine work with a chisel. But similarly shaped cleaves are still used in butcher shops to this day. From the camera's perspective and inward they look to be: Multi function axe, fire wood cleave axe and felling axes. But each of those will most certainly work as a battle axe in a pinch.
