Viking Seax with Carbon Steel Blade, Wood/Bone Handle

Viking Seax with Carbon Steel Blade and Wood-and-Bone Handle

This Viking Age knife based on a Baltic war knife / seax found in an 11 century burial mound in Priekuli-Gugeri, Latvia, features a high carbon steel blade. The wooden handle terminates on both sides with bone and brass rings. It has an oval cross-section that ensures a solid grip on the knife. The brass butt cap is equipped with a convenient lanyard hole (leather lanyard is included in delivery).

The beautiful leather sheath with period brass fittings is equipped with three brass rings and leather belt loops for typical Viking-style horizontal carry. The loops are adorned with stylised animal-shaped heads modeled on finds from Björkö/Birka, Sweden.

This scramasax is designed as a collector’s or decoration/display piece.

Specs may slightly vary from piece to piece.

The steel used here is not rust-proof and might show slight surface tarnishing in places. We recommend you to maintain the blade on a regular basis, for example using Ballistol Universal Oil, which is ideally suited for steel care.

As bone and wood are natural products, variations in colour and grain are quite normal. Each Viking seax has thus its own very unique handle and above pictures are for reference only.
