Product information "Saxon Scramasax"
The Scramasax, carried by the Saxons and Vikings between the 4th and 10th centuries, was utilized as both a tool and a weapon. Carried horizontally at the back of the belt, the Scramasax provided the spearman with a close-quarters weapon when needed, and its broad blade could handle many day-to-day chores. The ancestry of the Scramasax, which evolved from similar weapons in bronze (and later iron) used by the Celts, is portrayed in the decoration of the guard and pommel.

Die Verabeitung und das Design der Waffe sind sehr gut abgepasst. Das Scramasax liegt sehr gut in der Hand nur die spitzen Ecken des Triskel-Griffes stören bei der Führung des Sax. Mit Schutzhandschuhen wie im Schaukampf vorgeschrieben ist dies jedoch nicht zu spüren (ACHTUNG: Schaukampfwaffen brauchen eine mindest-Dicke an der Schneide). Weiterhin ist die Scheide meines Erachtens nach verkehrt herum ausgeführt. Der Griff müsste für einen besseren Zug nach unten zeigen, was mit ein bisschen handwerklichem Geschick auch zu beheden ist. Alles in allem ein super Sax

Ja, ich habe den Sax auch als Angebot gekauft und dafür passt das gelieferte Exemplar auch. Die Klingenoberfläche ist nicht ganz gleichmäßig gebürstet, zeigt aber keine großen Macken. Die Ornamente am Griff sind nicht ganz sauber gegossen, die Griffelemente sind verschraubt. Die Lederscheide nimmt den Sax auf; beim Tragen habe ich keine Probleme festgestellt. Der Sax fühlt sich stabil an und weil ich ihn noch nicht geschärft habe, kann ich zur Funktionalität nichts sagen. Überrascht war ich, weil ich mir den Sax als Hiebwaffe klingenlastiger vorgestellt hatte. Fazit: Einfaches und (wahrscheinlich) funktionales Teil.

Sehr gelungenes Sax...für 39 Euronen im November Special so gut wie geschenkt Die Verzierungen an Knauf und Griffabschluss sehen zwar minimal anderst aus als auf dem Bild aber das schmälert den Wert des Sax nicht...wirklich ein schönes Stück

Neutral: -Griff ist bei meinem Stück nicht in einer Linie zur Klinge sondern ist davon abgewinkelt (ob das so sein soll und das Bild schlecht fotografiert ist weiß ich nicht) Positiv: -Schwerpunkt direkt am Übergang vom Griff zur Klinge -super Handling -Griff auch für breitere Hände lang genug Negativ: -Ornamente sind bei meinem Stück nicht so gut ausgearbeitet, da werde ich also nachschleifen müssen -Scheide ist am oberen Ende zu breit und durch den Schwerpunkt beim Übergang Griff-Klinge lässt sich dieses Sax nur nach Umarbeiten der Scheide quer auf dem Rücken tragen Fazit: Das Sax lässt sich gut führen und nach umarbeiten der Scheide auch angenehm tragen. Der Griff ist zwar nicht in Linie mit der Klinge, allerdings verschlechtert es nicht die Führung des Saxes sondern verbessert sie teilweise sogar. Für 89 Euro hätte ich wahrscheinlich länger überlegt, aber für die 39 Euro im November-Special allemal sein Geld wert!

Das Scramasax von Hanwei ist ein gelungenes Sax. Der liebevoll gestallteter Griff sieht besonders Edel aus. Einzig sitzt das sax nicht besonders fest in der Lederscheide ist aber nicht weiter schlimm.

Woodsman's Sax
Did you know that the name of the Saxon race was derived from the knife they carried? Its true the Sax knife was so important in their daily lives that an entire people became known by it. So, what was so special about this knife that it endured from the from the 6th to the 12th century? The answer is, it was easy and cheap to make and incredibly versatile and effective. Usually found without a guard, with a simple wood or bone hilt it offered a long wide, thick blade with a straight edge and a sloping point (easy to forge). This made it just about ideal as it chopped, sliced, hacked, whittled and carved and was no slouch in a fight as the weight forward balance of the blade and sloping point made ferocious chopping and thrusting strokes effortless. Over the years we have become quite enamored with the history and work potential of the sax so we decided to make a simple version we call the Woodsman’s Sax. Like some historical saxes that have survived, the Woodsman’s features a stout 11” long blade with the characteristic sloping point and an unadorned wooden handle made from exotic imported hardwood. Each of our broad bladed saxes also come with a sturdy “period correct” leather scabbard, complete with belt straps, and accented with solid brass “period correct” buckles. Details: WEIGHT 21.7 oz. THICKNESS 6mm BLADE LENGTH 10" HANDLE 6" Long STEEL / MATERIAL 1055 Carbon OVERALL 17" Long ADDITIONAL FEATURE Leather ScabbardThis is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2020.

Witham Viking Seaxe Knife
(History of the Seax Knife)A scramseax (also scramsax, scramseaxe, scramaseax, scramasax, scramaseaxe and sometimes referred to as simply scram, seax or sax) was a type of Germanic single-edged knife. Scramseax seem to have been used for warfare and as a tool. They occur in a size range from 7.37 cm to 74.93 cm. The larger ones (langseax) were probably weapons, the smaller ones (hadseax) tools, intermediate sized ones serving a dual purpose. Wearing a scramseax may have been indicative of freemanship. The scramseax was worn in a horizontal sheath at the front of the belt. Scram refers to food and seax to a blade (so, "food knife"). There is some debate about the authenticity of the longer word scramseax. The Saxons may have derived their name from seax (the implement for which they were known) in much the same way that the Franks were named for their francisca. This claim is largely supported by the appearance of scramaseaxes in early Saxon heraldry. The Generation2 version is based off a 10th century version drawing given to us by Hank Reinhardt. And if you notice it is a nice match to the Witham Viking Sword. The Blade is 5160 tempered carbon steel with a wood handle, wrapped in brwon leather. The tang is peened over top the metal end cap of the handle. A hand stiched Leather scabbard with belt hanger is included. Details: Blade length: 30.80 cm Overall length: 43.82 cm Balance Point: 4.45 cm below steel Guard Weight: 408.24 g

Chieftan's Sax
Every Viking Chieftain was familiar if not an expert with sword, shield, spear and axe. But these are long and heavy and often bulky weapons that were not always within reach so for 24-hour protection they almost universally carried a large Sax. Suspended from the belt in front or back (where it didn’t interfere with other weapons like their sword or hand axe) it was instantly available if suddenly attacked and was often used in tandem with other weapons.While most Sax blades resemble the profile of our Woodsman’s Sax with a straight edge and sloping point there were popular variations like the broke back Chieftan’s Sax we are introducing here.Forged out of high carbon steel with a hard spring temper and satin polished it boasts a “broke back” blade profile where the line formed by the spine rises then falls abruptly to the point of giving the illusion of a clip point bowie knife while actually predating the bowie by many centuries! Since the Chieftan’s Sax is meant to be a weapon first and a tool a distant second it comes with a modestly sized brass guard that serves to keep the fingers from sliding forward on to the blade while offering a modicum of protection from opposing weapons. But it is the handle of the Chieftan’s Sax that we are especially proud of. Intricately hand carved in deep relief in link pattern that is visually stunning and compliments the matching brass guard and pommel.Each Chieftan’s Sax comes with a period correct brown leather scabbard with brass accents, a leather laced seam and period correct leather carrying straps! Details: Weight 649 g Thickness 4.5 mm Handle: 14.28 cm from Malaysian Sal Wood Steel / Material: 1055 carbon steel Total length: 50 cm Additional feature: leather sheath This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2020.
