Product Details
Step back into the age of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons with this authentic seax dagger, a faithful reproduction of one of the most iconic blades in early medieval Europe. More than just a weapon, the seax (also called sax or scramasax) was an everyday companion – used in work, travel, hunting, and battle.
The seax was the favored sidearm of Germanic tribes, Anglo-Saxon warriors, and Viking raiders from the Migration Period into the early Middle Ages. Recognized by its single-edged “broken back” blade design, it served both as a practical tool and a symbol of status. This reproduction is hand-forged from carbon steel, giving it the strength and authenticity of the originals.
The dagger has a wood-wrapped handle, reinforced for durability and shaped for a firm grip. A rounded steel pommel helps balance the blade while adding medieval character. Every detail reflects traditional blacksmithing skill, making it suitable for both reenactments and display.
Each seax comes with a handmade leather scabbard, complete with belt loops decorated with knot work designs inspired by Viking-age art. This ensures the dagger can be worn securely at the hip during reenactments, Renaissance fairs, or LARP events.
Historically, seaxes were multi-purpose tools – used for cutting, carving, preparing food, and self-defense. This reproduction carries the same versatility. It can be sharpened for practical use or kept dulled for safe reenactments and stage combat.
Care Instructions
Each seax dagger is individually hand-forged by skilled artisans. Because of this, small differences in size, shape, or finish are natural and make every piece unique.
