Description
The Generation 2/Legacy Arms Lombard Seaxe Knife is based off a 6th century version. The Blade is 5160 tempered carbon steel with a hardwood handle. The tang is peened over the metal end cap of the handle. A hand stitched leather scabbard is included.
The larger ones (langseax) were probably weapons, the smaller ones (hadseax) tools, intermediate sized ones serving a dual purpose. Wearing a scramseax may have been indicative of freemanship.
The scramseax was worn in a horizontal sheath at the front of the belt. Scram refers to food and seax to a blade (so, “food knife”). There is some debate about the authenticity of the longer word scramseax. The Saxons may have derived their name from seax (the implement for which they were known) in much the same way that the Franks were named for their francisca.
