Product description

The seax is delivered including a scabbard so you can hang it on your belt. The semi-sharp tempered blade is forged from 1065 carbon steel and has a hardness of 48-52 HRC. A beautiful seax to place on a sword display at home, also perfect for Viking reenactment and Vikings Cosplay. When you blunten the seax, it is an excellent battle ready sword for sword fighting during Viking reenactment battles and a perfect training sword for Historical European Martial Arts.
