Ofcourse it was around, they weren't hacking wood with spears.

Axes especially made to fight probably weren't around, and form the archer unit descriptions it also says they were around.


Viking times in fact AFAICR, the Daneaxe is a truly fearsome weapon.
It is, you have this Viking Live Metal Fighter on Youtube, Skallagrimm, he uses one alot, it isn't weird for a non sharp one to crush an shield. And on Deadliest Warrior, the Longaxe test scared the crap out of me.
