Description
This seax from the Viking age has a long blade. It is very authentic and realistic look because it hasn’t been fullly polished and still shows the oxide layer and forging marks. The polished bone grip is decorated with the two messenger ravens of Odin, Hugin and Munin. The scabbard is made of leather and decorated with a Norse knotwork design and brass fittings. The decorative motif of the two ravens of Odin is also applied to one side of the scabbard.

This item is produced in limited quantities only. This means that every piece is unique. Sizes & finish may vary lightly from piece to piece.
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
This item is perfect for beginning sword fighters and light battles but this sword is not covered by a warranty.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result."
