God of War inspired cutlery arriving in October
We knew about the novels, and the comics, but it looks like you can soon own your very own God of War inspired cutlery.
Hitting in October, United Cutlery's Blades of Chaos will create a scaled replica of Kratos Blades of Chaos. The weapon will be a total of 20-13/16 inches long and have a 12 7/16-inch blade constructed from solid-cast zinc aluminum with a custom-etched mold texture, and unique fantasy grindings that mirror the piece used in the game.
The handle grip is injection-molded and surrounded by an intricate, detailed cast-metal guard and pommel and includes a custom display stand with the God of War logo.
Can't wait to cut some prime rib with that.
More through the break.
