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 high-quality steel, featuring a weathered and battle-worn surface with visible nicks and scratches, while the wooden haft is wrapped in leather for a secure grip, adorned with intricate Norse carvings. The overall design is robust and functional, with a balance between weight and maneuverability, reflecting its use by elite Viking warriors.
