Since ancient times in Japan, the heart symbol has been called Inome (猪目), meaning the eye of a wild boar, and it has the meaning of warding off evil spirits. The decorations are used to decorate Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples, castles, and weapons.[6][7] The oldest examples of this pattern are seen in some of the Japanese original tsuba (sword guard) of the style called toran gata tsuba (lit., inverted egg shaped tsuba) that were attached to swords from the sixth to seventh centuries, and part of the tsuba was hollowed out in the shape of a heart symbol.[8][9]

Hell, I'm not even a girl, and I want that

Probably used by a magical girl to decapitate samurais or demons or something.

Let's be honest here. Boys would want that too.

This kinda gives me Cardcaptor Sakura vibes.

So is this why kids growing up would drench themselves in Ax?

I guess Gimli meant something different with "you have my axe"

Am a woman, can confirm.

That's a nice axe.

Hey, wait, she's got a new complaint.

I want this so badly!

I sent this to my GF

I know when I’m beat

But you can find a boyfriend and get him into blacksmithing so he can make you one. I feel like a ton of men won't need their arms twisted much to do it (myself included).
