he 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.
It was utilized as both a close-quarters weapon, a tool, and utensil. It would provide both slashing and thrusting power in battle while handling heavy-duty chores around the home and camp.
Comments
: Very nice. We only ordered one initially to get some idea of the quality. If this had a sheath for horizontal carry like some of the other seax I carry I'd give it 5 stars.
