The beautiful leather scabbard is richly decorated with brass fittings. Thanks to two leather loops attached to brass rings, the Sax (Seax) can be worn horizontally on the belt in typical Viking style.
It should be noted that the blade is sharp and fully functional. Therefore, this dagger is not suitable for exhibition combat and is intended only as a collector's item or decorative object.
The term Damascus steel , Damascus steel , or simply Damascus refers to a composite steel made from two or more different types of steel. The name derives from the Syrian city of Damascus, which is considered an ancient stronghold and the origin of Damascus steel production. Typically, a hard, high-carbon steel and a soft, low-carbon steel are joined by repeated welding and forging. The high-carbon steel provides greater hardness, better hardenability, and longer edge retention, while the softer steel gives the blade greater elasticity and increased resistance to breaking. With this technology, which developed in a time of poor and changing steel qualities, the positive properties of different steels can be combined. Due to the different colors with different carbon contents, stunning patterns of alternating layers are created, such as the so-called twist Damascus or rose Damascus . Because of these patterns, Damascus swords from the Middle Ages were said to have an inherent magic.
