A reproduction of the seax from the 700-800s that was found in Hedeby. The wooden handle is made from one piece, just like in the original. The length of this seax borders to a langseax, so the loops in the scabbard are adjusted for a tilted position. This allows it to be worn on the back, the front or slightly on the side, like a sword. Grimfrost in runes is stamped into the blade as a makers mark.

Sharpened blade
Material: Carbon Steel 1045
HRC 55-58
Hand-stitched leather scabbard
Walnut wood handle with brass studs
Total length: 25.2" (64 cm)

Maximum width of blade: 1.6" (4 cm)
Length of grip: 5.5" (14 cm)
Carefully handmade, small variations may occur.
The length of the seax and the construction does not make this good for actual usage (chopping wood etc.). For those activities, please choose the seax found here: Broken Back Seax

The sax (English: seax) is a long knife characterized by a large, single-edged blade worn horizontally inside a scabbard attached to the belt, with the edge of the blade upwards. It was historically seen with Germanic peoples, and gave among other things the Saxons their name.
