Widely associated with both Anglo-Saxon and Viking cultures, this blade bridges the gap between everyday utility knives and a warrior's dedicated sidearm. This example features a Type G hilt, a classification identified within Anglo-Saxon typology and characterised by its distinct guard and pommel construction - unlike simpler seax forms, the addition of a guard here reflects a real evolution toward more serious use, offering improved hand protection and control. The long, single-edged blade emphasises cutting power, supported by a thick spine for durability; while retaining the traditional seax profile, the extended length allows it to function effectively as a primary sidearm, particularly in Anglo-Saxon England where such long seaxes were carried by warriors of status as both a martial tool and a marker of cultural identity.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDeepeeka's reproduction is designed for stage presentation and re-enactment, hand-forged with a blunt edge and reinforced construction, part of our Anglo-Saxon and Viking heritage range.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nUse for:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Anglo-Saxon and Viking living history\u003cbr\u003e\n- Historical reenactment camps and choreographed demonstrations\u003cbr\u003e\n- Museum displays and educational interpretation\u003cbr\u003e\n- Early medieval England-themed home decor and collections\u003cbr\u003e\n- Historical events and living history fairs\u003cbr\u003e\n- Film and theatre productions\u003cbr\u003e\n- Collectors of Anglo-Saxon seax typology\u003cbr\u003e\n- Costume dressing and themed photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Deepeeka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41328261595208,"sku":"AH7008F","price":120.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5213\/8568\/files\/cdbc78a2-46e9-5bfb-af75-b88ad15753c8.jpg?v=1787646247","url":"https:\/\/norsealley.com\/products\/viking-forged-long-seax-with-type-g-hilt","provider":"Norse Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
