Maldon Viking seax, sharp

Product description

This seax is great as a working knife or fighting knife, a solid weapon with good balance. This is a classic replica of a Viking seax. The seax was the Vikings' favorite weapon and always went along, because it is practical and good to fight with. Like the originals, this seax has a curvature in the blade. This makes the seax a perfect weapon for chopping and slashing. This beautiful patinated seax has an authentic pommel and a grip with traditional leather wrapping. It is delivered including a scabbard and certificate of authenticity.

The Battlecry line of historical swords, daggers and axes was designed in collaboration with John Clements. John has unsurpassed knowledge of historical fencing and medieval and Renaissance fighting methods. All items are hand-forged by the forgery of Windlass Steelcrafts of high quality 1065 tempered carbon steel and are strong and resilient. The swords have an extra wide full tang and all weapons are sharp and suitable for cutting tests.

Each model has been put through rigorous physical testing to exceed industry standards. These battle tested weapons have a patinated finish which makes them look even more authentic and historical. Each weapon is individually inspected at every step of the manufacturing process, and only after passing the inspection do they receive the blacksmith's mark on the blade. Each weapon is delivered including a certificate, signed by all craftsmen who have worked on the weapon. Also included is a matching scabbard and, if applicable, a swordfrog.
