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. 

Product number: 3595
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.

Superb Longsax for the price you pay
Review by Tyler L. on 8 Sep 2023 review stating Superb Longsax for the price you pay
Incredible Longsax knife. I was very pleased with the build quality and attention to detail. My only complaint is that the blade tip profile was much more rounded compared to the actually Hedeby Longsax original pictured.The brass plate where the blade meets the handle is welded to the blade, which does add lots of strength to the blade. I have practiced some short sword techniques with it and it's obviously quite hefty but very stable in the hand. The beefy, beautiful wood grain grip with brass studs help perfectly with this and you can tell this whole blade was well thought out and designed. An heirloom quality blade that any Nord during the Iron Age would envy for an crazy amazing prize.

Hedeby seax
Review by Mathias R. on 14 Dec 2022 review stating Hedeby seax
The Seax looks great. The Blade is beautifully crafted and the handle fits good in my hand. It feels heavy, which is really nice. You got something to fight with.

My home is close to Haithabu (Hedeby) so it was a must have.

Not bad, sharp, cuts through tree branches, nothing came loose when testing, although the handle is a tad small.

Absolutely exquisite
Review by Robert M. on 7 Apr 2021 review stating Absolutely exquisite
This seax I bought for my wife. The craftsmanship is amazing. Blade came fully sharpened to razor-like perfection. The one piece walnut handle is beautiful, and the raised brass pins not only add to the beauty of this seax,but also make for a perfect grip as to not slide out of your hand.
