Deeply Rooted In Scandinavian History, The Seax, AKA “Scramasax” Or “Sax,” Was The Blade Shape Of Choice For The Much-Feared And Revered Vikings.The Scandinavians usually lived in villages, farmed the land and raised animals. In such an agrarian society, they also needed tools to help them work the land and harvest the fruits of their labor. This is also where a knife came into play.

Their personal knife was called the seax and it never left their side because it was their version of an EveryDay Carry. The knife was tasked with a myriad of chores, from skinning a freshly taken deer to cutting up the turnips they grubbed out of the ground with the same knife. The seax also could be employed as a self-defense weapon if needed. It was truly a blade for all seasons.

Typically The Seax Is A Bowie Style Type Knife, Ranging With A Blade Length Between 10-15 Inches .With A Spear-Point Type of Blade, Simular To A Loveless Drop-Point Hunter-Style of Blade, and, of Course, the Well-Known ‘Broken-Back’ Style Featuring a Severe Clip Close to the Front, Finishing in a Point Well Below Rhe Center Line.

The Broken-Back Seax Style is the Most Common and Appears in TV Shows and Movies Depicting The Norse.
