Viking sax, British Isles. Decorative

 This hand-forged scissor or saex was one of the favorite weapons of the west-faring Vikings and has a triangular blade shape. The model is based on British finds of this type of long single-edged combat knives. Roller (grip) in polished ash. Handle, button and ring in brass. Please note that this product only refers to the knife without the sheath.

The blade is hand forged in carbon steel and hardened with oil. The blade is marked with the Nordlys™ "blacksmith's mark" so you can be sure that the scissors come from our forge. 

Please note that the blade on this model is delivered hardened and semi-sharp, the blade and can also be sharpened. The model is therefore only intended for collectors and decorative or ceremonial use. We do not recommend using this model for historical combat.
