The Housecarl's Axe is a formidable Viking weapon with a broad, slightly curved blade made of high-quality steel, featuring a distinctive bearded design that extends below the haft for added utility in combat. The haft is crafted from sturdy oak, wrapped in leather for a secure grip, and adorned with intricate Norse runes and carvings that tell tales of battle and glory. The axe head is weathered from use, showing signs of battle with nicks and scratches, while the edge remains sharp and deadly, reflecting light with a menacing gleam.
