Product description
This long scramasax is based on an original that was used around the time of the Viking raid on Lindisfarne. The seax is a Petersen Type G and was in use between 790 and 850 AD. What particularly sets this sax apart from 9th–10th century originals is the distinctive shape of the crossguard and pommel.
Petersen Type G swords form a rather rare group, with only a few known finds. It is believed that this type originated in Norway.
This sax is made from EN45 spring steel and comes complete with a leather sheath.

Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.

Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.

Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
