The Francisca throwing axes were used as a weapon during the Early Middle Ages by most of the European tribes but mainly the Franks. Among whom it was a characteristic national weapon from 500 to 750 and is known to have been used during the reign of Charlemagne (768–814).

Throwing Axe Care instructions:
•Carbon steel will rust so please use oil after use. I recommend Mineral Oil as it can be used on the handle and leather sheath too, veg oil can also be used.
• If stored in leather sheath, oil and then wrap in plastic, clingfilm works great. This is to prevent rusting.
