Bjorn's Long Seax

Bjorn's Long Seax has been beautifully crafted using the highest-quality materials. The blade was forged using carbon steel to achieve the broken back seax shape associated with the Vikings. The back of the blade features grooves known as "jimping," which provide extra grip when holding the long seax with one hand on the back.

The handle has been hand-crafted from walnut wood with brass caps. The whole seax has been finished with our signature beeswax and linseed oil blend, which helps protect, aids in grip and brings out the wood's natural grain. The handmade scabbard has been hand-sewn and finished masterfully with brass accents and double bolsters.

These are an attempt to recreate what likely would have been used in the Viking Age. The broken back shape, with its sharp transition from back to blade, seems to have been the most popular long-seax shape in Scandinavia throughout the Viking Age

Please note: High-carbon steel blades are used for their durability and ability to keep a sharpened edge. However, like all carbon steel blades, they are susceptible to moisture erosion (rust) if not cared for correctly. Please oil the blade regularly, especially after use and before storing for long periods of time.
