Viking sax with embossed scabbard, Gotland. Semi sharp

This hand forged Viking sax has a specially fitted handmade leather scabbard with the typical brass embossings and decorations found on many Swedish originals. The scabbard hangs horizontally on the front of the body, where it is easy to reach for a fast draw and acts as both weapon and status symbol. The richly decorated scabbards and simple blade shape is very typical for the preferred battle knife of the Vikings in Scandinavia and especially on the island Gotland. Where the extremely rich Vikings contributed greatly to what is today the place on earth with the highest count of buried treasure.

The blade is marked with our Nordlys™ “forgers mark” so that you can be sure that it is an original from our forge. It comes in a semi sharp and tempered version and can easily be sharpened further.

Since the blade is not blunt, the knife is intended for collectors and decorative or ceremonial use. We do not recommend using this model in any type of fighting.
