Axes

Battle axes had long handles , were light, and were deadly . The axes had lots of different head shapes . Some had a nice patterned edge from about 3 to 6 inches . Later axes heads were much larger, from 9 to 18 inches long . The long handle allowed the warrior a longer reach in a fight . Axe heads were decorated with patterns and some had silver and gold .

Spears

Spears were probably the most common weapon , taking the least amount of iron to make . They could be thrown  at the enemy . Spear heads came in lots of different shapes and sizes from long and thin heads to stab someone . Spear heads were also made of iron and many were decorated .
