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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis design was developed by Deepeeka in collaboration with historical designer Keith Wescovich, bringing together historical inspiration with practical considerations for re-enactment. This horn-gripped variant reflects the widespread early Medieval use of buffalo horn as a durable, decorative handle material.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIdeal for re-enactment, historical interpretation, and collectors seeking a distinctive transitional seax form.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Length : 9.80 Inch Approx.\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Width : 1.36 Inch Approx\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall Length : 15.6 Inch Approx.\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight : 460 kg.\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade made of High Carbon steel.
