The seax was a single-edged blade of Germanic origin that served both as a practical everyday tool and as a weapon.

Seaxes came in various forms, ranging from the compact short seax to the larger long seax, which was typically worn horizontally on the belt in its sheath. From the 5th to the 10th century, the seax was one of the defining blades of the Germanic world and was worn and used by Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, and other Germanic peoples alike.

This impressive Viking seax combines historical design with quality craftsmanship. The blade is forged from Damascus steel and features the distinctive pattern created during the forging process. As every Damascus blade has its own unique pattern, no two seaxes are exactly alike. The blade features a pointed tip and a lightly sharpened cutting edge.

The carefully crafted hilt is made from light-coloured wood and enhanced by a darker wooden centre section framed by two brass rings, creating an elegant contrast. A brass ferrule provides a smooth transition between the blade and the grip, while the brass end cap is fitted with a practical lanyard ring. This can be used to attach a lanyard and also makes it easier to draw the seax from its sheath.
