The Housecarl's Axe is a formidable weapon with a broad, slightly curved blade that tapers to a sharp point, designed for both slashing and thrusting. The axe head is made of darkened steel with a weathered finish, featuring intricate Norse runes engraved along the blade's edge, symbolizing strength and loyalty. The haft is wrapped in worn leather for a secure grip, with iron bands reinforcing the connection to the head, showcasing a balance between functionality and ornate Viking craftsmanship.
