Historically Accurate

The Scramasax, also referred to as scramaseax or scramsax (literally meaning ‘wounding-knife’), sax or seax, was carried by the Saxons and the Vikings between the 4th and 10th centuries, came in a wide range of sizes and was used both as a tool and a weapon.

Carried horizontally, at the back of the belt, the scramasax provided the spearman with both a close-quarters weapon and a tool and utensil in camp. Our SH1075 Scramasax, with its foot-long blade, would provide both slashing and thrusting power in battle while handling heavy-duty chores around the home and camp.The Scramasax is equipped with a premium leather horizontal-carry sheath.

Amongst the shape and construction of seaxes there is a great deal of variation, see last few photos for examples. The most common characteristics are:

• A tang in the centerline of the blade, inserted into an organic hilt of wood or horn.
• A large single-edged blade.
• The blade is worn horizontally inside a scabbard or sheath attached to the belt, with the edge of the bladeupwards.
