Hand-forged knife featuring the Helm of Awe (Ægishjálmur) - one of the most powerful protective symbols in Norse mythology - engraved into a custom vegetable-tanned leather sheath. The blade is forged and shaped by hand, the sheath hand-cut, hand-stitched and hand-dyed. The Ægishjálmur was believed to grant invincibility and strike fear into enemies - worn by Viking warriors before battle. A statement piece for Norse mythology enthusiasts, collectors and LARP players. Made in France.
