The seax is the single edged Norse blade that almost every household owned. In Damascus it stops being a tool and starts being something you show people, because the layer lines run the full length of a broad flat blade with nothing to interrupt them. Sizes here run from a 12 inch belt knife up to something close to a short sword.
Lengths, spines and handles
Hornsax is the smallest at 12 inches overall, a horn handle under a rune etched blade with brass fittings. Emberfang is 13 inches with an 8 inch broken back blade, a rosewood handle and brass bolsters. Wolfmark carries a 13 inch blade with an etched wolf head in a buffalo horn handle with a leather belt sheath. At the top, Bonewarden and Stagwarden are both around 24 inches overall with 18 inch blades, which puts them in short sword territory. Wolfnotch is the decorated long seax, a rosewood grip with a broken back blade, a Valknut etch, a brass guard and a tooled leather sheath.
They sit in Viking seax, alongside the wider layered range in Damascus knives. For picking a length and a carry, the Viking seax knife guide covers it.
