Small Viking Saxo Knife, Bone Handle with Nordic Motif 0316201700

This small utility knife from the Viking Age (also called a broken-back sax due to its special blade shape) has a short, hand-forged blade made of carbon steel with a strong back. The polished bone handle, decorated on both sides with beautiful Nordic engravings, is a real eye-catcher. Towards the blade it is closed with a brass ferrule, and at the other end the handle cap, also made of brass, has a practical eyelet with a large brass ring for attaching a carrying strap or for easily removing the knife from the sheath (strap not included).

The Viking Age short saxophone comes with a strong, artistically decorated sheath made of vegetable-tanned leather with hand-made knot designs in Nordic style. Brass fittings with an antique finish – rivets, a reinforcement plate and two elegant hanging rings in the shape of sinuous snakes – visually complete the case in a beautiful way.

Although the knife is fully functional, the edge has been left dull. If necessary, it would need to be sharpened for everyday use. Please note, however, that this Viking knife is primarily intended as a collector's item or decorative item. The tip of the blade is not rounded and is not suitable for display combat!

Please note that bones and leather are natural products and deviations in colour and/or grain are quite normal. Since the knife is made entirely by hand, the decorations may also vary slightly from example to example. Therefore, each handle and case of this Viking sax are unique and the images above are just an example.
