Short Sax (Seax) with Horn Handle and Leather Case.

Short Sax with Antler Handle – The Edge of the Germanic Warrior

Tribal authenticity with horn, steel and tradition

In the dark days of the Early Middle Ages, among the forests of Central Europe, saxes or seaxes were more than simple knives: they were essential tools of everyday life, laden with symbolism and function. Used by various Germanic tribes—not just the Saxons—these objects embodied the fusion of utility, identity, and cultural belonging.

This faithful reconstruction of a Germanic short sax presents a raw and functional aesthetic. Its steel blade , unsharpened for decorative and safety reasons, is accompanied by a genuine horn handle topped with a metal pommel. The guard is formed by two steel discs held together by rivets that frame a decorative horn plate , providing a handcrafted and rustic finish typical of the tribal cultures of Central Europe.

A piece with clan spirit

This sax comes with a brown leather case , designed for belt carrying thanks to a double-loop system. It's an ideal piece for historical reenactments, collections, or stage settings . Made of natural horn , each neck exhibits unique grain and tones, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
