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 bearer's body. A permanent reminder of Kratos' pledge."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 when Kratos pledges himself as his servant. They are a pair of curved blades attached to chains seared to Kratos' 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 of Chaos in his final battle with Ares, when Ares strips him of his powers, and brutally rips the Blades right off his arms. They are replaced by Athena with the very similar Blades of Athena after Kratos kills Ares.
