Sax (Seax), Windlass
The sax (seax) was widespread in Northern Europe. It was used by the Saxons, Angles, Vikings, and Germanic tribes, and was probably in use from before the fall of Rome until the early Middle Ages. The profile of the sax (seax), always single-edged, ranged from small knives with a blade length of about 7 cm to swords with a blade length of up to about 70 cm. The original version of this large knife was used for everything from camp work to cutting, on board ships, and for combat when a sword or axe was unavailable.
Manufactured by Windlass Steelcrafts. Blade material: unsharpened 1055 carbon steel. This replica features a lobed pommel and brass crossguard. The wooden handle is studded with brass nails to ensure a secure and comfortable grip. Remains of this sax (seax) can be seen in the British Museum.
