A bearded or Skeggøx (from old Norse Skegg, "beard", and øx, "axe") refers to various axes used as a tool and weapon as early as the 6th century AD. It is most commonly associated with Viking Age Scandinavians. The hook or "beard",, i. e. the lower portion of the axe bit extending the cutting edge below the width of the butt, provides a wide cutting surface while keeping the overall weight of the axe low.
