Seen it in a King Arthur type movie, was a fighting axe, reminded me of the Norse Hawk but a longer handle. Any idea what this pattern would be called?

Sounds like it might be based after the "dane axe" I can't remember the Petersen typology for it.

Update: did a little searching and found an un-sharpened Saxon/Norse battle axe with a bearded bit. Strikes me like a novelty item for re-enactments. Could be the place to start if I wanted to pursue such a project.
