The seax gave the Saxons their name and sat on almost every Norse belt, worn horizontally with the edge turned up. It was a knife first and everything else second: a tool for eating, cutting cord, dressing game and, when it came to it, settling an argument. If you only buy one Norse blade, this is the honest choice.
Sizes and spines
Ravenspine is the smallest at twelve inches overall, a 1095 blade with a stacked leather handle, an etched raven and a hand stitched sheath. Emberfang is thirteen inches with an eight inch broken back blade in Damascus, a rosewood handle and brass bolsters. Wolfmark carries a thirteen inch blade with an etched wolf head in a buffalo horn handle with a belt sheath. Knotsax is fourteen inches with rosewood scales, a brass bolster and an etched knotwork panel in a tan sheath. Langfell is the far end of the family, a matched pair of thirty inch langseaxes with leather grips and two fitted scabbards, which is well past knife territory.
They sit in Viking seax, alongside the rest of the Norse blades in Viking knives. Weighing it against an American classic? Read seax against bowie.
