Viking Transitional Seax with Bone Grip (Wescovich Design)

A transitional seax form bridging the compact scramasax and the full long seax, developed in collaboration with historical designer Keith Wescovich.

The seax evolved through several distinct forms across the early Medieval period, ranging from compact utility knives to substantial single-edged companion blades. This piece represents a transitional form, bridging the gap between the shorter scramasax and the larger long seax, or langseax - a design phase where Norse and Anglo-Saxon smiths began adding a guard and pommel to blades that had previously been simple, hiltless utility knives, improving control and hand protection while retaining the seax's essential versatility.

This design was developed by Deepeeka in collaboration with historical designer Keith Wescovich, bringing together historical inspiration with practical considerations for re-enactment. This bone-gripped variant reflects the widespread early Medieval use of bone as a durable, decorative handle material.

Ideal for re-enactment, historical interpretation, and collectors seeking a distinctive transitional seax form.
