Scrollwork War Axe Replica - 16cm Die-Cast Metal | Frost on the Haft

Filmed on a miniature set we built by hand for this collection — the weight in the hand, the scale against everyday objects, the die-cast detail up close. No CGI, no stock footage.

The Scrollwork War Axe replica is cast in solid die-cast zinc alloy — 16cm (6.3"), 76g (2.7 oz), free worldwide tracked shipping. In the games it flies out, freezes whatever it hits, and comes back on a whistle. Ours just sits there looking dangerous — no whistle required.

The Scene: The Handprint in the Snow

We built a snow-buried pine forest for this shoot — frosted branches, a stone marked with a gold handprint, and his signature red cloth caught in the snow. That handprint isn't random set dressing: in the games, Faye leaves golden handprints across the realms to guide Kratos and Atreus, starting with the very tree this axe fells in the opening minutes. Two spectral green ravens perch nearby — Odin's own spies, watching long before Kratos ever throws an axe at one. Every photo here is a real shot inside that handcrafted set. No CGI, no renders. Read the full forging story for how Brok and Sindri built this to answer a hammer they came to regret.

What You're Holding

16cm in the Real World

Lay a dollar bill flat and you've got the length, edge to edge — that's how far this axe head-to-butt actually runs. At 76g (2.7 oz), it's dense enough to feel like real metal the second it lands in your palm, not a toy-shelf lightweight, and the weight sits mostly in the head rather than the haft. The in-hand photo above shows exactly how it balances against a closed fist.

Cast, Not Cut

Each axe head is die-cast in zinc alloy as a single body, then hand-finished. The scrollwork across both faces and the curved horn at the top are shaped into the mold itself — trace the pattern with a fingertip and you'll feel real depth, not a printed layer. The haft's copper-toned wrap follows the same spiral down to a capped butt end, and the edge stays blunt straight out of that mold.

Choose Your Display

Axe alone, or add a Small Stand (+$2), Large Stand (+$3), or Vertical Stand (+$4) — all three sit on the real set in the photos above, and we'd lean vertical if your shelf allows it; the wide head catches more light standing up. For the fire this ice was built to answer, there's the Blades of Chaos . Complete the Ragnarök-era arsenal with the Draupnir Spear . And this axe only exists because two dwarves felt guilty about the Mjolnir they'd already forged.

The rest of the God of War collection lives on the shelf next to this one, and every axe in our lineup sits in our axe replicas lineup. Free worldwide tracked shipping, a foam-lined gift box, and a 30-day money-back guarantee on every order. Faye left her handprint on the path so Kratos couldn't lose his way — leave yours on the display case instead.

Safety Note: Recommended for ages 14+. It is not a functional weapon.
