Small Seax — Viking & Anglo-Saxon Knife with Sheath

Every Freeman carried a Seax — and this is why. This knife is based directly on an Anglo-Saxon and Viking Age grave find, faithfully reproduced in 5160 carbon steel with an olive wood handle and brass fittings. Small enough to eat with, sharp enough for serious work, and authentic enough for the shield wall.

Designed by Paul at Bushman Survival and crafted to his specification.

The traditional leather drop sheath is made to be worn on a belt, keeping it accessible whether you're at a living history event, out camping, or just want an authentic piece of kit on your hip. Suitable for re-enactment from 400 to 1100AD.

The Seax

Seax is Old English for knife — the Swiss army knife of the Viking Age, carried by every Freeman from Anglo-Saxon England to Scandinavia. Used from 400 to 1100AD, it was the one blade no self-respecting Viking or Saxon would be without. Read more about the history of the seax here.
