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.

I choose bronze as it has such a distinctive warmth - both tactile and energetic - cultivates a profound sense of self-regard and emotional equilibrium. Where gold channels solar radiance and silver reflects lunar grace, bronze grounds the wearer in earthly presence and stability. Its rich patina evolves gracefully over time, transforming into a deeply personal talisman. A refined accessory for those who appreciate the intersection of historical significance and contemplative practice.

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.
