Most collectors obsess over huge statues and limited edition figures. But I think the best way to carry your fandom with you is something you can actually use every day. Keychains are small, durable, and they spark conversations. I have been testing and comparing God of War keychains for years, and these five designs stand out for quality, detail, and value. Whether you are a die-hard Kratos fan or just starting your collection, this guide will help you find the perfect piece.

Why Keychains Make Great God of War Collectibles
Keychains are the most versatile collectible in any fandom. They take up zero shelf space, cost a fraction of a statue, and you actually use them. I have a Leviathan Axe keychain on my work bag and I get compliments almost daily. It starts conversations with other fans and reminds me of the game every time I grab my keys.
They also make perfect gifts. At $8 to $20, you can buy for a friend without breaking the bank. And because they are small, shipping is cheap and fast. In my experience, fans who buy a keychain often come back for more. They build a collection over time, swapping them out by season or mood.
Our Favorite God of War Keychain Designs from the Store
1. Leviathan Axe Keychain
This is the one I recommend most. It is die-cast metal with etched rune details that match the in-game axe. The paint has a weathered finish that looks authentic. At 3 inches long, it is big enough to show off but not bulky. I have dropped mine a dozen times and the paint still holds up.
- Material: Die-cast zinc alloy
- Size: 3 x 1.2 inches
- Weight: 0.6 oz
- Attachment: Split ring and lobster clasp
- Price: $14.99
2. Kratos Head Keychain
A classic choice for fans of the character. This sculpted head captures Kratos with his signature frown and beard. It is made from zinc alloy with hand-painted highlights. The color is a flat gray with red accents on the tattoo. It feels sturdy and has a nice weight.
Best for: Budget collectors or anyone who wants a recognizable symbol. At $9.99, it delivers great value.
3. Blades of Chaos Keychain Set
Two separate keychains - one for each blade - connected by a short chain. The blades are painted in metallic silver and bronze with a faux-leather wrap on the handles. They are slightly smaller than the Leviathan Axe keychain at 2.5 inches each, but the set makes a statement.
Best for: Collectors who want a display piece that can also be used. The chain can be removed if you prefer individual keychains. Price: $19.99.
4. Mimir Talking Keychain
Press the head and hear one of four iconic quotes from the game. The sound is clear and not too loud. The head is made of resin with a weathered bronze paint job. It comes with a small battery installed. I have had mine for six months and the battery is still going.
Best for: Fans who love the character and want something interactive. Price: $12.99.
5. Atreus Arrow Keychain
A minimalist design - a laser-engraved wooden arrow with Atreus's name and a small leaf motif. It is lightweight and natural looking. The wood is birch with a clear protective coating. It makes a subtle reference to the game without screaming "nerd."
Best for: Gifting to casual fans or using on a delicate bag. Price: $7.99.
How to Display and Use Your God of War Keychain
You can use these keychains traditionally - on keys, bags, or lanyards. But many collectors prefer to display them. I use a small cork board with pushpins to rotate my collection. Some fans attach them to a dedicated keychain rack or hang them from a rearview mirror.
If you are worried about scratches, keep the keychain in the free velvet pouch that comes with every order. The metal ones can develop a natural patina over time, which actually looks cooler. Avoid exposing painted keychains to water for long periods.
Limited Edition and Rare Keychains to Look For
Every few months, the store releases limited edition runs of 500 pieces. Past editions included a blood-red variant of the Leviathan Axe and a gold-plated Kratos head. These sell out within days. To catch them, follow the store's social media or sign up for the newsletter. Prices for limited runs are usually $19.99 to $29.99, but resale value can double.
Keep an eye out for collaborations. In 2025, a God of War Ragnarok-themed keychain set was released and it sold out in 48 hours. Those now go for $50 on secondary markets. If you see a limited drop, act fast.
