Treat yourself to the Chieftain's Sax (Seax)
Chieftain's Sax (Seax)
Every Viking prince was a skilled or absolute expert in the use of swords, shields, spears, and axes. Given that these long, heavy, and often bulky weapons were not always close at hand, Vikings almost always carried a large Sax (Seax) knife with them 24 hours a day. The Sax (Seax) was usually hung on the front or back of the belt (right where there was space so as not to interfere with carrying other weapons) and was immediately at hand in case of a sudden attack. In battle, it was often combined with other weapons.
Although most Sax (Seax) knives were more similar to the profile of the Cold Steel® Woodsman's Sax (item no. 88HUA) (with a straight edge and a convex blade spine sloping toward the tip), other variations like the broken-back presented here, where the Chieftain's Sax (Seax) is also quite popular.
The blade of the Chieftain's Sax was forged from carbon steel, tempered to spring hardness, and given a satin finish. It has the so-called broken-back profile, where the straight back of the blade initially rises very slightly and then drops abruptly toward the tip. In reality, in its basic form, it is not different from a clip-point Bowie blade, but it predates the Bowie by many centuries! Given that the Chieftain's Sax is designed primarily as a weapon and only plays a secondary role as a tool, it is equipped with a subtle brass guard that prevents fingers from coming into contact with the blade and provides some protection against enemy weapons.
But Cold Steel® is particularly proud of the hand-carved handle, which looks simply stunning with its elaborate raised braided pattern. Together with the brass guard and pommel, the ensemble is harmonious.
Each Sax (Seax) is delivered with a sturdy, historically accurately reproduced brown leather sheath, with brass fittings, side lacing with leather cords, and elegant leather loops.
1055 Carbon Steel
The carbon content and relatively low levels of other materials in this steel make it a very stable material, free from the brittleness inherent in most high-carbon steels. This steel is ideal for blades that need to have high impact resistance and is therefore often used for large fixed-blade knives, machetes, and swords.
