Leviathan Axe Replicas: Handmade Kratos Axes

4 pieces

The Leviathan Axe is the frost axe Kratos carries through God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök, and every axe on this page is a handmade tribute to it. Three are 40 in (101.6 cm) axes with a 13 in blade and a head hardened to 58–60 HRC: the engraved Leviathan axe with its hooked back spike, the gold-tone Kratos Leviathan axe with a knotwork band along the edge, and the blue-rune Kratos axe with a carved animal-head pommel. Each of the three ships with a leather sheath. The 4 kg Leviathan axe is the largest: a hand-forged carbon-steel head on a 910 mm (35.8 in) leather-wrapped handle, about 4 kg (8.8 lb), with a leather cover and a wooden runic box as an option. Prices run from $249 to $749 with the box, and because every axe is finished by hand, the engraving and carving vary slightly from piece to piece. Looking for the weapons the Norse actually carried?

Häufige Fragen

Is the Kratos axe the same as the Leviathan Axe?
Yes. In God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök, the axe Kratos fights with is the Leviathan Axe, forged by the dwarf brothers Brok and Sindri and carried by his late wife Faye before him. Fans search for it under both names. Our four replicas follow that design with different engraving, etching and handles.
Are these Leviathan axes functional or for display?
They are display, cosplay and collector’s pieces, not working tools. The 4 kg Leviathan axe ships unsharpened to meet customs rules. The three 40 in axes have carbon or high-carbon steel heads hardened to 58–60 HRC.
How heavy is a Leviathan axe replica?
The 4 kg Leviathan axe on the 910 mm leather-wrapped handle weighs about 4 kg (8.8 lb). The three 40 in axes are listed by length rather than weight; write to support@vikingsbrand.co if you need an exact figure before ordering.
How long are the axes?
The engraved Leviathan axe, the gold-tone Kratos Leviathan axe and the blue-rune Kratos axe are each 40 in (101.6 cm) overall, with a 13 in (33 cm) blade and an 11 in (28 cm) cutting edge. The 4 kg Leviathan axe has a 910 mm (35.8 in) handle and a head that measures 300 mm (11.8 in) from blade to blade.
What steel are the heads made of?
The engraved Leviathan axe and the gold-tone Kratos Leviathan axe have high-carbon steel heads, and the blue-rune Kratos axe has a hand-forged carbon steel head, all hardened to 58–60 HRC. The 4 kg Leviathan axe has a hand-forged carbon-steel head. None of them is stainless, so keep the head clean and dry and give it a light coat of oil or wax before storage.
What comes in the box?
Each 40 in axe ships with a leather sheath. The 4 kg Leviathan axe comes with a leather cover, and the $749 option adds a wooden runic box.
Do the runes on the blade mean anything?
No. The rune-style marks on the blue-rune and gold-tone axes are decorative and follow the design of the axe in the game, so they are not a translated inscription.
Is this an official God of War replica?
No. These are unofficial fan tributes, made by hand and not licensed by Sony Interactive Entertainment or Santa Monica Studio.
