Medieval Seax Dagger – Hand-Forged Carbon Steel Blade with Brown Leather Sheath

Description

Step into the world of Germanic tribes and Norse raiders with this Medieval Seax Dagger, a faithful reproduction of one of the most iconic blades from the early Middle Ages. Used by Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, and Franks alike, the seax (or sax) was more than a weapon—it was a symbol of identity and utility, often found in warrior burials and everyday kits across Northern Europe from the 5th to 11th centuries.

This blade is hand-forged from high-carbon steel, polished to reveal its natural luster and forged to hold its edge. Its straight spine and strong angular point replicate the historical form favored for both piercing and slicing. The tang is embedded in a solid wood handle, wrapped tightly in rich brown leather for a firm, comfortable grip, finished with a minimalist steel cap for balance.

It comes paired with a custom brown leather scabbard, hand-stitched and shaped to match the seax profile. The sheath includes dual belt loops for horizontal or angled carry, reflecting historical wear common among Saxon and Viking cultures. Whether slung at the hip during historical presentations or featured in your collection, this seax is built to impress with both form and function.
