Windlass Steelcrafts Battlecry Maldon Seax Knife - 1065 High Carbon Steel Blade, Leather-Wrapped Grip, Steel Pommel

Product Description

The Windlass Steelcrafts Battlecry Maldon Seax Knife is a replica of one of the most practical and functional knives that’s not widely known, the Viking Seax. As both a serviceable tool and deadly weapon, this is the little brother to its better known larger sibling, the Viking sword. Whether hidden behind a shield, worn on the belt, or left upright free-standing in a wooden block or sticking in the railing and posts of a longship, it was always kept handy. Designed specifically to actually be used, this replica is made from 1065 high carbon steel with a darkened, battle-hardened finish. With an extra-wide tang and tempering to a low 50s RC, this 15 5/16”, pre-sharpened blade has gone through rigorous testing. It also features a thick back edge that uniquely curves down toward a straight point, providing it with slashing potential, as well as, chopping force. The guard and pommel are made of heavy-duty steel and the grip is wrapped in genuine leather in an overlaid, knotted pattern. Includes a matching scabbard with belt stop and certificate of authenticity signed by each smith that touched the blade through every step of the forging process.
