PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Tyr's Seax
Tyr's Seax has been beautifully crafted using the highest-quality materials. The blade has been hand-forged using carbon steel to achieve the broken-back seax shape associated with the Vikings. The handle has been hand-crafted from walnut with a brass cap. Tyr's Seax is the perfect length for an all-around utility Seax.
The whole seax has been finished with our signature beeswax and linseed oil blend, which helps protect, aids in grip, and brings out the wood's natural grain. The handmade scabbard has been hand-sewn and finished masterfully.
These are an attempt to recreate what likely would have been used in the Viking Age. The straight-back-shaped seax with a curved blade seems to have been the most popular blade shape in Scandinavia throughout the Viking Age

WHAT IS A SEAX?
The word Seax appears to be an Old English / Anglo Saxon word for knife. The term has come to cover a wide variation of different knives. The most common characteristics are:
- - A large single edged blade.
- - A tang in the centre line of blade. Often inserted into an organic material handle.
- - The scabbard (and blade) worn horizontally on the belt.
- - The blade tends to face upwards when in the scabbard.
SEAX CARE
Seaxes are supplied with a small tin of our signature linseed oil and beeswax blend, as well as being treated before being shipped.
High Carbon steel is not 100% water resistant, and requires the regular application of oil (or our wax blend) to keep the seax looking its best.
