The Best Display Ideas for Your Axe: Showcase Craftsmanship with Purpose

An axe isn’t just a tool — it’s a piece of craftsmanship, tradition, and often, personal meaning. Whether you own a hand-forged Viking axe, a collectible tomahawk, or a custom-engraved blade, how you display it can elevate its presence and preserve its condition. Here are some of the best ways to display your axe at home, in your workshop, or as part of a collection.

1. Wall-Mounted Drakkar Hangers – Bold, Thematic, and Eye-Catching

Inspired by the iconic Viking longships, our Drakkar axe hangers come in both silver and gold finishes, offering a striking way to hang your axe blade-first on any wall. Available in different sizes, they suit everything from hatchets to full-size ceremonial axes. These hangers not only support the weight of your blade securely but also add a Norse-themed design element to your space.

2. Premium Wooden Rune Box – Elegant Storage and Presentation

If you prefer to keep your axe safely tucked away but still beautifully presented, our premium wooden box with carved runes is the ideal solution. Designed to protect your axe from dust and damage, this box doubles as a display piece. It’s perfect for gifting, collecting, or storing a prized engraved weapon with care and style.

3. Axe Holster – Carry and Display in Motion

Sometimes the best display is one that moves with you. Our leather axe holster allows you to carry your axe securely on your belt, whether at a historical reenactment, themed event, or photo shoot. Made from high-quality leather and designed for comfort, it keeps your axe visible, accessible, and protected wherever you go.

4. Freestanding Wooden Display Stand – A Classic Choice

Our wooden display stands are a timeless option for tabletop or shelf presentation. Available in black and brown finishes and in multiple sizes, these stands support your axe horizontally or diagonally, depending on the model. Whether placed on a mantel, desk, or bookshelf, they let your blade take center stage while blending seamlessly with rustic or modern decor.
