Description
Viking long sax with leather handle, incl. scabbard
This Viking Age Sax knife (Skramasax) is made with a long blade of EN45 spring steel and has a strong back, pointed point and double fuller, but it does not have a sharpened edge. The continuous blade tang is riveted to the pommel. The hilt of this early medieval knife consists of short oval shaped quillons, a pommel in late medieval Viking style and a handle with wooden core wrapped with brown leather. The quillons and pommel are cast in steel and blued for a rustic touch.
The Viking longax is accompanied by a brown vegetable tanned leather scabbard with intricate braided stitching. It also features two belt loops, which allows you to wear the long sax in Viking fashion - horizontally at the waist.
This Viking sax is designed as a decorative piece, collectible or prop, for example, to complete a costume. Please note that it is not suitable for show combat.

Depending on the specimen, the above specifications may vary slightly.
The steel used here is not stainless and may eventually show slight signs of corrosion. Therefore, we recommend that you take the time to care for the blade regularly - using a product such as Ballistol, a universal oil specifically designed for the care of all types of steelware.
