The Housecarl's Axe is a formidable Viking weapon with a broad, slightly curved blade that tapers to a sharp point, designed for both slashing and piercing. The axe head is made of dark, weathered steel with visible forging marks and a polished edge that gleams under light. The wooden haft is wrapped in leather for a secure grip, adorned with intricate Norse carvings and metal reinforcements at the base. The overall design balances functionality and ornate Viking craftsmanship, suitable for a high-ranking warrior.
