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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 8.5 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 7.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smith \u0026 Sun","offers":[{"title":"Til then","offer_id":56814599930236,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Balance","offer_id":56814599963004,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/5645\/0375\/files\/DSC3438.jpg?v=1779906232","url":"https:\/\/www.smithandsun.co.uk\/products\/seaxs-of-margate","provider":"Smith \u0026 Sun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
