Product Information

Typically the Norsemen were associated with their famous axes, but, truth be known, they also carried a knife that saw more general use: the seax. For a budge knife, it does have some weak points. The two main ones are that the leather sheath may need some working in to be at its best, and the knife may need a sharpen out of the box to have a pristine edge. Other than that, this is a good knife for the money.

I forge these blades from the offcuts of my hand forged swords so in some sense, although they are a small knife they are the sons and daughters of my swords I have made a small batch of these knives so the knife you receive may differ slightly from the ones pictured. Smaller beard axes such as this Danish hand axe had evolved from Francisca and served the Huscarls primarily as devastating throwing axes, but were also used in close combat. A distinctive feature is the relatively long blade cutting, which tapers sharply towards the shaft. The blade encloses the shaft made of wood and is riveted to it. The shaft is largely straight but is widened at the lower end towards the blade, which improves the handling discreetly. This amazing seax is from the husband & wife duo of Nathaniel and Megan Everett at Lunar Light Forge in Akron, Ohio. We use several types of steel: spring steel, which is renowned for its outstanding hardness and flexibility, the carbon content of about 0.6 % and tool steel alloy with a carbon content around 0.8% provides great cutting power and resistance to wear.Discover our assortment of Viking knives.

Emerson said the seax also could be employed as a self-defense weapon if needed. It was truly a blade for all seasons: Harvest produce in the morning, fend off the enemy after lunch, and then prepare supper in the evening—all with the same blade.

In such an agrarian society, they also needed tools to help them work the land and harvest the fruits of their labor. This is also where a knife came into play. The sax, seax, saxmes, seaxe or scramasax was an early medieval stab and melee weapon used by the Vikings and the Germanic tribes such as the Alamans and Langobards. The Vikings used their seaxes in battle. Our saxes are both Germanic and Viking replicas. We have seaxes of different steel qualities and with different steel hardnesses. Some of our seaxes are made of damascus steel. This means that they consist of several folded layers to create a strong and artistic blade.
