This Viking Age sax knife (also called a scramasax) features a long EN45 spring steel blade with a thick spine, a pointed tip and twin fullers. The edge is not sharpened and the blade’s full tang is peened to the pommel.
The handle is composed of a thick, short oval guard, a late Viking style single-pieced pommel and a wooden grip tighly bound in brown leather. Both the guard and pommel are cast from steel and blued, which makes for a truly eye-catching hilt and lends the early medieval knife a rustic character.
Included with the long Viking seax is a sturdy, high-quality sheath made of brown, vegetable tanned leather. It features a handsome braided seam and a pair of belt loops for typical Viking-style horizontal carry.
This Viking saxe is designed as a collector’s or decoration/display piece. Besides its quality as a collectible, it is also perfectly suited as a prop (e.g. to complete your costume) and will make your transformation into a proud Norse warrior just perfect!

Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis trotz kleiner Mängel
Einige Mängel sind vorhanden. Bei meinem Stück war der Knauf in einem leicht falschen Winkel befestigt. Auch die Parierstange und der Knauf haben unangenehm scharfe Kanten. Die Schlaufen an der Scheide sollten ebenfalls etwas anders platziert werden, damit der Sax richtig am Gürtel sitzt. Aber das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist trotzdem sehr gut.
Begeisterung pur
Ich bin absolut begeistert von der guten Qualität und der sehr guten Verarbeitung. Die robuste Lederscheide liegt gut in der Hand, genauso wie der ausgearbeitete Griff, der schöne Knauf und die Parierstange. Die Klinge ist exzellent und das Gewicht perfekt. Ich habe bereits ein Wikingerschwert vom selben Hersteller und bin ebenfalls sehr zufrieden. Hervorragende Arbeit für den Preis.
