Product description

The seax (or combat knife) is based on various Germanic originals. An early example was found at Hjortspring in Denmark (350 BCE). This type of sax was also popular during the famous Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 CE, during the Marcomannic Wars in the 2nd century CE, and even in the early Migration Period. It is likely that this combat knife is the predecessor of the well-known Germanic and later Viking saxes.

A characteristic feature of the seax is its single cutting edge, and it was traditionally carried horizontally with the cutting edge facing upward. This seax features a rosewood grip. The blade is handmade from carbon steel and comes with a matching scabbard.

  • Total length: 54.5 cm
