Historical Context: The seax, sometimes spelled sax or scramasax, was a versatile single-edged knife widely used by Germanic tribes, Anglo-Saxons, and Viking warriors between the 5th and 11th centuries. More than just a fighting blade, it was used in everyday life—for hunting, carving, and camping—and its size and decoration often reflected the status of its owner. The distinctive profile of the seax, with its straight back and angled point, made it particularly effective for both thrusting and cutting. This practical shape became so iconic that the word "Saxon" itself is thought to derive from the bearers of sea-snatches.

Crafted for the most discerning enthusiasts who value historical accuracy and practical design, this medieval Seax dagger is forged from durable carbon steel, ensuring a blade that holds its edge and resists warping. The polished finish highlights the steel's natural luster, reminiscent of period blades held in European collections.

The full-length tang is firmly set into a solid wooden handle, carefully wrapped in brown leather for aesthetic appeal and a firm grip. A minimalist steel pommel completes the handle's look while adding balance.

The hand-stitched brown leather scabbard follows the distinctive profile of the blade and features two loops for carrying it horizontally or at a slant, a nod to the way axes were traditionally carried at the waist.

Whether you're preparing for a Viking encampment, outfitting a Norman event, or simply adding a striking piece to your historical display, this seax offers heritage, utility, and craftsmanship in equal measure.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Keep the blade lightly oiled to prevent corrosion.
• Never store the blade in the sheath for a long time - moisture can accumulate inside
• Dry it after use and handling.
• Sharpen occasionally with a sharpening stone suitable for carbon steel
• Avoid prolonged contact with acidic substances⭐.
