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, as a tool and as a weapon.
This compact Viking sax combines a robust carbon steel blade with a richly decorated handle of wood and bone, worked with Norse knotwork as commonly seen in Scandinavian art of the early medieval period. The wood scabbard is lined with leather and features brass decorative fittings, carry 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.
