Product description
The seax was the single-edged knife of the Germanic world and was worn from the 5th to the 10th century by Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and other Germanic peoples. It was both a tool and a weapon, and the longer versions were often worn horizontally on the belt.
This long seax features a blade of EN45 spring steel with a thick spine and a sharp tapering point. The bone grip is decorated with a line pattern and finished with a steel collar and end cap. The sturdy wood scabbard is lined with brown leather, featuring braided relief, brass fittings, carrying rings and bone accents.
This weapon is intended for collectors, as decoration and as a historical accessory for re-enactment and living history. The blade is not suitable for fighting or sparring.
