Viking scissors with scabbard, British Isles. Decorative

 This hand-forged scissor or saex was one of the favorite weapons of the west-faring Vikings and has a period-typical hand-made leather scabbard. 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. The scabbard is typical of the Viking Age and has two loops for the belt, the knife then hangs horizontally on the front or back of the body.

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.
