This model is inspired by the feared Frankish throwing axe – the “francisca”. Its shape and its wide, rigid section make it possible to use it in hooking and in thrusting.
Be careful, while the originals were throwing axes, this trainer is not meant to be thrown in a HEMA context.
We recommend an oval handle of 3.6 x 2.6 cm and 80-90cm long, if possible curved to stay close to the Frankish originals.
