Berserker Double Headed Axe with Etched Knotwork

The Berserker Double-Headed Axe carries an edge on both sides of the eye. Most axes ask a hand to choose a side and stick with it. This one turns either way without losing capability. That doubling is the whole point of the design. Knotwork covers both faces in matching detail. A round rune medallion centers each side. Etching cuts into bright polished steel rather than a coating. Norse patterning runs the same on the working side and the resting side. The haft shows wavy wood-grain figuring down its full length. A leather wrap secures the head-to-haft junction. A second wrap sits lower, near the flared butt. Divine Knives shapes each head and fits each haft by hand.
