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 thrusting. The axe head is made of dark, weathered steel with intricate Norse runes engraved along the edge, symbolizing strength and protection. The wooden haft is wrapped in leather for a secure grip, showing signs of wear from battle, and ends in a metal cap for balance and additional striking power.
