There's a reason the seax was the most carried knife in the Viking Age. It worked. Short enough to wear all day, heavy enough to handle real tasks, and balanced for natural one-handed use. The Norse Tradesman Viking Seax Knife brings that same design philosophy forward with modern materials. The 4.2" D2 tool steel blade is ground to a sharp clip-point edge with a stonewashed finish that wears gracefully in the field. At 3.7mm thick at the spine, this isn't a slicing knife; it's a working knife. It battons. It pries. It processes. The polished edge cuts cleanly, and D2's wear resistance means you'll be re-sharpening far less often than with softer steels. The solid rosewood handle sits comfortably in the hand at 4.3", with the copper guard providing a natural reference point for your grip. At 8.3" overall, the proportions feel right. Long enough to work with, compact enough to carry without thinking about it. The included genuine leather sheath and braided lanyard let you carry it belt-mounted the way it was meant to be worn. Break it in, oil it occasionally, and it'll last decades.
