Small Viking Saxophone, Bone Handle with Nordic Motif.

Enjoy a Small Viking Saxophone, Bone Handle with Nordic Motif.

Small Viking saxophone knife with bone/brass handle in Old Norse style



This small all-purpose knife from the Viking Age (also called a broken-back sax due to its special blade shape) has a short, hand-forged carbon steel blade with a strong back. The polished bone handle, decorated on both sides with beautiful Nordic engravings, is a real eye-catcher. It ends at the blade with a brass ferrule and at the other end the handle cap, also made of brass, has a practical eyelet with a generous brass ring for attaching a carrying strap or for conveniently removing the knife from the sheath. (strap not included).



The Viking Age short sax comes with a sturdy and artistically decorated case made of vegetable-tanned leather with hand-engraved Nordic-style knot designs. Antique-finished brass hardware (rivets, a reinforcement plate, and two elegant snake-shaped hanging rings) beautifully complete the case.



Although the knife is fully functional, the edge has become dull. If necessary, it would need to be sharpened for daily use. Please note, however, that this Viking knife is primarily intended as a collector's or decorative item. The tip of the blade is not rounded and is not suitable for show fighting!

Please note that bones and leather are natural products and variations in colour and/or grain are completely normal. Since the knife is entirely handmade, the decorations may vary slightly from one piece to the next. Therefore, each handle or sheath of this Viking sax is unique and the images above are for illustrative purposes only.
