The steel used here is not stainless and may show slight signs of corrosion. We recommend regularly maintaining the spearhead, for example with Ballistol, a universal oil ideal for preserving steel products.
Please note that bone and leather are natural products, and variations in color and/or grain are completely normal. Since the knife is entirely handmade, the decorations may vary slightly from one piece to another. Therefore, each handle or sheath of this Viking Sax (Seax) is unique, and the images above are for illustrative purposes only.
