{"product_id":"viking-bone-curved-broad-seax","title":"Viking Bone Curved Broad Seax","description":"\u003cp\u003eA decorative Viking-style seax featuring a broad, slightly curved blade and richly detailed scabbard, inspired by Norse artistic traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe seax was traditionally a straight, single-edged blade widely used across Anglo-Saxon and Viking cultures. This example represents a decorative and stylistic variation, incorporating a broader and slightly curved blade profile that enhances its visual presence and cutting profile.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile retaining the defining characteristics of a seax, this piece reflects artistic influences seen in Norse craftsmanship, where function and decoration were often combined. The widened blade offers strong cutting capability, while the curvature introduces a more fluid handling dynamic compared to traditional straight seax forms.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe grip is crafted with a carved bone handle, paired with metal fittings that provide both durability and aesthetic appeal. The scabbard is richly detailed with embossed patterns, brass reinforcements, and suspension rings, making it suitable for display as well as carry.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece stands apart from more utilitarian seaxes, representing a decorative and expressive interpretation of Viking-era blades. It is well suited for collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts seeking a visually striking addition to their collection.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall Length: 53.3 cm (21″)\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Length: 40.6 cm (16″)\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: ~650 g (1 lb 7 oz)\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Width: 37 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Thickness: 4.5 mm - 4.4 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nPoint of Balance: 10.5 cm (4 1\/8″)\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Material: EN45 High Carbon Steel\u003cbr\u003e\nEdge: Unsharpened\u003cbr\u003e\nConstruction: Nut assembly\u003cbr\u003e\nHandle: Carved bone\u003cbr\u003e\nScabbard: Leather with brass fittings and suspension rings\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Deepeeka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41328307929160,"sku":"AH2022","price":128.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5213\/8568\/files\/7433cd1d-fed2-5a2b-ac4f-9293982b4ebd.jpg?v=1787646839","url":"https:\/\/norsealley.com\/products\/viking-bone-curved-broad-seax","provider":"Norse Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
