Battle Merchant - Viking Seax Bone Handle Hugin and Munin

This sax knife from the Viking Age (also known for its special blade shape) gebrochener Rücken The Sax, also known as seax, features a long, hand-forged blade made of carbon steel with a sturdy back. It is not fully polished and the blade still shows the forge-black scale and forging marks, giving the knife a rustic, authentic character.

The striking, absolutely stunning handle is made of bone, polished, and adorned with beautiful engravings of Odin's two messenger ravens Hugin and Munin (or Huginn and Muninn) and their names in Nordic runes. In Norse mythology, the ravens fly over Asgard and Midgard and return in the evening to the Allfather (also "Hrafnáss" wird übersetzt als "Raven Ridge""the 'Raven God', as he is called) to report everything they have seen and heard to him". The bird couple is a recurring motif in Celtic and Viking Age art

The Viking Langsax comes with a beautiful sheath made of strong, vegetable-tanned leather with hand-embossed knot designs in Nordic style and brass fittings with an antique finish, including two hanging rings. The bird motif depicted on the handle is repeated on one side of the sheath. Each raven here is cast in brass and secured with rivets.

Although the Viking knife is fully functional, the blade has only been sharpened. If necessary, it would need to be resharpened to improve sharpness. Please note that this Skramasax is primarily intended for collectors or. Decorative object designed and not suitable for combat!
