Product description
The seax is a short sword without a guard and a fairly straight blade. This type of sword was mainly used during the early Middle Ages. For example the Saxons, Germanic people and Vikings fought with a seax. The seax was cheaper to make than a sword and according to some sources such as the Iceland saga, the seax was simply much more beloved than the sword. Besides the function of the seax as a weapon, it was also a handy tool. People used it to skin animals after hunting, and it could be used for weed cutting and harvesting.
This seax has a beautiful hand-forged blade and a wooden grip. It comes with a beautiful brown leather scabbard with braided decorations and a hand-stitched border. In this sheath you can hang the seax on your belt.

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.
