There are various iterations of the Seax of Margate. Here are my lastest iteration, a pointy personal reminder of inner strength, protection, clarity, sacrifice, bravery, transformation, power & courage which I have engraved with different markings (making them totally unique to my others). Always good to have that slung round your neck if not in your hand.
A bronze dagger, first carved in wood, sanded, then cast in bronze. A great everyday talisman, empowering the wearer to face challenges with resilience and courage.
Where did its name come from? A seax was a single-edged knife or short sword used by Germanic peoples (especially the Anglo-Saxons) from the Migration Period through the Early Middle Ages. It functioned as both a tool and a weapon, with forms ranging from small utility knives to long blades approaching sword length. Typically forged from iron, with handles of wood or bone and were commonly worn horizontally in a scabbard, often edge-up. Notable examples include the Maldon Seax and the Seax of Beagnoth, the latter bearing a rare and significant runic inscription.
