Viking seax Roskilde, damascus steel, semi-sharp

Product description

This high quality Viking seax is inspired by historical originals. It has a beautiful wooden grip with brass plates on the top and bottom. The top also has a ring for a leather lace. The blade is made of Damascus steel. This steel is named after the capital of Syria, Damascus, where the steel was invented. Damascus steel is a type of steel composed of two or more different steel types. A higher carbon steel and a milder steel are repeatedly forged and folded. This creates a special pattern in the blade. In the Middle Ages it was thought that this steel had magical properties. Modern fantasy series also use Damascus steel to portray magical steels, such as the Valyrian steel in Game of Thrones. Damascus steel combines the good properties of softer and harder steel, resulting in higher hardness, strength, durability and flexibility. The leather scabbard is richly decorated with brass fittings. The fittings have small triangular decorative motifs. The leather shows a striped pattern. It has two belt loops so that you can hang it on your belt in a historical way. The seax is sharp and suitable for practical use such as cutting wood, leather and other materials.
