Blades of Chaos

From God of War Wiki

Kratos attacks with the Blades of Chaos

"As for Kratos, no mere sword and shield would befit the newest servant of the God of War. The Blades of Chaos, forged in the foulest depths of Hades. Once attached, the blades remained so, chained and seared to the flesh, a part of the bearers body, a permanent reminder of Kratos' pledge" - Gaia

The Blades of Chaos are Kratos' main weapons in both God of War and God of War: Chains of Olympus. They are given to him by Ares the God of War, when Kratos pledges himself as his servant. They're a pair of curved blades attached to chains seared to his forearms, giving him the ability to swing them at a great distance. They become engulfed in flames when used, but cool down when hung on Kratos' back. Kratos loses the blades in his final battle with Ares, when Ares brutally rips them right off his arms (taking them along with all his other powers). They are replaced by the Blades of Athena (which are very similar) after Kratos kills Ares.
