Some facts about Seax

Seax(Old English pronunciation:[ˈsæɑks]; is anOld Englishword for \"knife\".[1]In modernarchaeology, the termseaxis used specifically for a type of smallsword,knifeordaggertypical of theGermanic peoplesof theMigration Periodand theEarly Middle Ages, especially theSaxons, whose name derives from the weapon.[2]These vary considerably in size.

Inheraldry, theseaxis achargeconsisting of a curved sword with a notched blade, appearing, for example, in the coats of arms ofEssexand the style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px; color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: sans-serif;\">Old Englishseax,and Old Frisiansaxare identical withOld SaxonandOld High Germansahs, all from aCommon Germanic*sahsąfrom a root*sah, *sag-\"to cut\" (also insaw, from aPIEroot*sek-). InScandinavia, the wordssax,saksorsaksetall refer toscissors, which are used for cutting various materials. The termscramaseaxorscramsax(lit. \"wounding-knife\") is sometimes used for disambiguation, even though it is not attested in Old English, but taken from an occurrence ofscramasaxiinGregory of Tours\'History of theFranks.[4]

The name of the roofer\'s tool, thezax, is a development from this word.[5]

Amongst the shape and construction of seaxes there is a great deal of variation. The most frequent characteristics are:

A tang in the centerline of the blade, inserted into an organic hilt (wood, horn)
A large single-edged blade
The blade is worn horizontally inside ascabbardattached to the belt, with the edge of the blade upwards

In the continentalGermanicarea, the following types are defined for seaxes between roughly 450 and 800 AD, in chronological order:[6]

Narrow long seax
Short seax
Narrow seax– Often have braided bands orsnakesengravedin the blade, and frequently includemetal bolstersandpommels. Both the edge and the back are curved towards the tip, which is generally located above the centerline of the blade.
Light broad seax– Similar to narrow seax, but frequently lack metalhiltparts, and have simpler decorations on the blade, such asparallel lines. Both the edge and the back curve towards the tip, which is generally located at the centerline of the blade.
Heavy broad seax– Have simple decorations on the blade if any, and long single-partorganichilts (>20cm). Both the edge and the back curve towards the tip, which is generally located at the centerline of the blade.
Atypical broad seax– Same as heavy broad seax.
Long seax– Blades are 50cm/20 in or longer, often with multiple fullers and grooves,pattern weldedblades, and long hilts similar to broad seaxes. The edge is generally straight, or curved slightly towards the tip. The back either curves gently, or with a sharp angle towards the tip, which is located below the centerline of the blade.

The general trend, as one moves from the short to the broad seax, is that the blade becomes heavier, longer, broader and thicker. Long seaxes, which arrived at the end of the seventh century, were the longest of the seax. These were narrower and lighter than their predecessors. Initially, these weapons were found in combination withdouble-edged swordsand were probably intended as side arm. From the seventh century onwards, seaxes became the main edged weapon (next to afrancisca), sometimes in combination with small side-knives.[6]

The rest of Europe (except for parts of Scandinavia) followed a similar development, although some types may not be very common depending on location. In England long seaxes appear later than on the continent and finds of long seaxes (as opposed to knives) remain very rare in comparison to finds of swords throughout the period.[7][8]

Another typical form of the seax is the so-called broken-back style seax. These seaxes have asharp angledtransition between the back section of the blade and the point, the latter generally forming 1/3 to 3/5 of the blade length, exactly like a large version of a modernclip-point blade. These seaxes exist both in long seax variety (edge and back parallel) and in smaller blades of various lengths (blade expanding first, then narrowing towards the tip after the kink). They occurred mostly in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with some examples in Germany around the eighth to eleventh century. Some examples have pattern welded blades, while others have inlays ofsilver,copper,brass, etc.
