Viking warriors need to be on their guard at all times. They often carry daggers with them like the Viking Chieftains Seax by Cold Steel. Made from 1055 high carbon steel, this functional dagger features a single-edged, broke back blade which is typical of seax blades. The blade has a hard spring temper and a polished finish. The dagger continues with a short, straight crossguard. The brass crossguard has angled lines adorning its sides.
Next, the hilt has a Malaysian Sal wood grip. Ornate, carved details adorn the grip. The hilt ends with a Brazil nut-shaped pommel. It features on its base the same engraved lines as the crossguard. It is also made of brass. Finally, this dagger comes with a brown leather scabbard. The scabbard has brass accents and period correct style carrying straps. The carrying straps allow the scabbard to attach to a belt not included. The Viking Chieftains Seax is great for historical reenactments and weapon collections.

Easily one of the best weapons I’ve purchased to date, I can’t find a single thing that stands out as a major fault with it- sure, there are some “imperfections” such as some small hammer marks on the blade (which I personally like) and some very slight inconsistencies in the engravings on the crossguard, handle, and rear guard, but again, I personally like the personality that that gives it. The blade is nice and sturdy and very sharp, no bends or wiggles anywhere. I’ve tried some basic cutting with it and it works great for that. I haven’t done anything heavy-duty with it yet (and I’m not sure I will) like chopping, which I’m not sure how sturdily everything would stay together there what with the pommel being held in place with a screw, but again, it’s not something I plan on doing a lot of, so I’m not worried about it.
