Limited replica of an Anglo-Saxon long sax from the 9st. century. The original was found in the Thames in London, and is now on display at the British Museum. "He is therefore also" Thames Scramasax or Counter sword named

The blade is intricately engraved and adorned with a runic inscription, with the first part being the Anglo-Saxon Futhark (= Alphabet) reproduces. The second part of the inscription is Beagnoth, probably the name of the wearer or the weapon smith

Our reconstruction closely resembles the early medieval original in shape and dimensions. The inscription, as in the original, is depicted with gold and silver inlays (tusche work). The single-edged blade features a narrow but quite deep, continuous fuller alongside the inscription. The blade is unsharpened and the surface is blued. The wooden handle scales are attached to the tang with brass rivets.

The delivery includes a wooden wall display with a numbered authenticity certificate and a sturdy and stylish sheath made of cowhide. In contrast to the conventional version, the sheath of the limited edition premium replica has four brass appliqués with a knot pattern
