VIKING SEAX
The seax was the knife every Viking actually carried — a single-edged working blade worn horizontally at the belt, used for everything from meals to defense. Our seaxes are hand-forged in Damascus and high-carbon steel with the distinctive broken-back profile, fitted with wood and bone grips and shipped sharp in a leather sheath.

While axes and swords get the glory, the seax was the constant companion of Norse men and women — a utility knife, tool and sidearm in one. The classic broken-back seax has a dramatic angled spine dropping to the point; sizes ranged from small utility knives to short-sword langseaxes. Ours follow those historical lines with forged blades and simple, strong handles. Complete the kit with a bearded axe or shield.
Seax FAQ
What is a seax knife?
A single-edged Germanic and Norse knife carried by virtually everyone in the Viking age — part tool, part weapon, typically worn horizontally at the belt.
What is a broken-back seax?
The most recognized style: the spine runs straight, then angles sharply down to the tip, giving the blade its distinctive geometric profile.
Is a seax practical for bushcraft today?
Very — the straight edge carves and slices like a modern bushcraft knife, which is essentially its descendant.
Are your seaxes historically accurate?
They follow historical blade profiles and construction styles, forged by hand in Damascus or high-carbon steel with natural wood and bone handles.
