Viking Seax Dagger – A Warrior’s Companion Reforged by Himalayan Blades

The Viking Seax, also called the Sax or Scramasax, stood as one of the most iconic blades of early medieval Europe. From the 5th to the 11th century, Vikings, Saxons, and other Germanic tribes carried it as both a weapon and a daily tool. Unlike the long swords nobles wore, the Seax stayed practical, rugged, and always within reach.

When you hold a Viking Seax Dagger, you feel why warriors, farmers, and noblemen trusted it during the Viking Age.

The Seax wasn’t just a weapon; it was a trusted everyday tool, carried at the hip much like the Kukri is carried in the Himalayas. Both blades share the same spirit: practical, reliable, and ready for battle when needed.

The Seax worked as more than a weapon. People relied on it as a constant tool, worn at the hip, much like the Kukri in the Himalayas. Both knives share the same spirit: practical, reliable, and ready for action whenever duty called.

At Himalayan Blades, we brought this Viking design back to life. We stayed true to tradition while building it to last. Over the years, I have handled many knives. Some look good but fail in real use. This Viking Seax Knife belongs in the category of true working blades. It performs when you need it. Watch the test here- Viking Seax Dagger Test.

Blade Features

• Blade: An 8.5-inch edge, 4–5 mm thick. It stays strong for heavy use yet feels agile in hand. The dual fullers reduce weight while keeping the spine solid. You feel the balance as soon as you swing it.

• Handle Options: Standard Indian Rosewood gives a warm, classic grip. You can also choose Buffalo Horn or Micarta. For just $19 extra, you can mix and match to change the knife’s character completely.

• Weight: At 250–300 grams, the dagger feels light enough for quick cuts but solid enough to bite deep.

• Sheath: Each blade comes with a handcrafted leather sheath. A knife with this history deserves safe and stylish carry.
