Hand-Forged Seax Knife – Steel Blade with Wooden Handle & Leather Sheath

The Seax was the iconic blade of the Viking Age and early medieval Europe, carried by Norse warriors, Saxons, and Franks . More than just a weapon, it was a versatile tool for daily life used for combat, hunting, and craftsmanship. Owning a Seax was a mark of freedom and status, making it one of the most recognizable blades of the early Middle Ages.

This hand-forged Seax Knife stays true to that legacy. Crafted from steel using traditional techniques, it offers the strength, durability, and resilience that countless cheap replicas fail to provide. The 11.5-inch blade and 18-inch overall length make it both practical and historically faithful.

The hardwood handle is secured with rivets, offering a firm and reliable grip, while the handmade leather sheath ensures safe carry and historical accuracy. Each blade is shipped coated in oil to prevent rust during transit, and like all steel items, it should be kept dry and lightly oiled for proper care.

Whether at a Viking event, Renaissance fair, or as part of a collection, this Seax brings history to life with every detail.

Care Instructions

• Always keep the blade dry after use.

• Apply a light coat of oil regularly to prevent rust.

• Store in a cool, dry place.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or acidic materials.

Note

Each Seax is hand-forged by skilled artisans, meaning slight variations in finish, texture, or wood grain are natural.

This is not just a knife, it’s a faithful recreation of the legendary Seax, the blade that defined the Viking and Saxon warrior spirit.
