Broken Back Seax, Viking Knife with Carbon Steel Blade and Wood-and-Bone Handle
This hand-made Viking Age sax knife, known as a broken back seax owing to its particular blade shape, features a sharpened high carbon steel blade and a wood-and-bone handle with brass collar and butt cap. The butt cap is equipped with a convenient eyelet for threading a lanyard or drawing the knife from its sheath (a leather lanyard is included in delivery).
The short seax comes with a beautiful vegetable tanned, hand-dyed leather sheath with ornate brass fittings. The suspension system consists of two carrying rings, a strap divider and three leather straps. Such split strap suspension systems were quite widespread in the Viking Age. The strap divider was designed to allow for an optimal positioning of each individual strap, so that the or the seax could hang from the belt at the perfect angle to be drawn from its sheath quickly.
This scramasax is designed as a collector’s or decoration/display piece.
Details:
- Blade material: high carbon steel, sharp edge
- Handle material: wood, animal bone, brass
- Overall length: approx. 32 cm
- Blade length: approx. 19 cm
- Weight: approx. 230 g (approx. 430 g with sheath)
- Leather-and-brass sheath with hanger
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.
Please note:
We do not sell this product to customers under the age of 18. Please provide your birth date when ordering. We'll also need a copy of your ID-card or passport by email, scan, fax or mail.
