The Seax
The Seax gave its name to the Saxon people and is consequently part of English sub-culture. Some types were also known as the Scramaseax (or food knife, or where the word ‘Scran’ comes from.) The Lang Seax was the long version and possibly like a small sword.
Various Seax styles. We sell the Saxon style shown in the colour picture.
The Seax was part knife, wood axe, machete, and weapon, and was usually worn on the belt hanging at the front of the body for ease of access. As a weapon it would have been very hard to parry and would have been a powerful strike. It could be long or short and is quite distinctive.
It was carried long after the Battle of Hastings. It is part of England’s heritage, and at one time it was the sign of an English Freeman or Woman.
They are an object of beauty. The Seax sold by us can hack down a tree as well as make good family heirlooms, or mantle pieces, and are a true sign of being English. An English family should be proud to own one. It is made of steel and is bone handled.

Spears
The spear was a favoured weapon on the English Shield Wall.
A skilled English Warrior could use his spear with deadly effect even when in close combat. It would have been used like a knife on the end of a pole. The ‘wings’ of the spear head in the middle of the picture could pull a shield away form an opponent thus allowing a strike. He would quite likely to have named his spear, so personally close was he to it. Like the Seax above the spear heads make fine heirlooms and presents and are works of art in their own right.
