Inspired by God of War

The design follows the axe from the game: a broad bearded blade, a flared back blade, a riveted steel langet down the haft and a branching pattern of rune-style symbols picked out in blue. The symbols are decorative and follow the game design, so we do not sell them as a translated inscription. This is a fan tribute for collectors, cosplay and display, not an official licensed replica. See the rest of the range in Engraved Viking Axes, or compare it with the picks in our guide to the best Viking axes.

Care

Carbon steel is not stainless. Keep the head clean and dry, and treat it with a light coat of oil or wax after every use and before storage.

Each axe is made by hand, so the engraving and the carving vary slightly from piece to piece.
