This large and robust fighting Brass-Hilt Viking seax was handcrafted by Baltimore Knife and Sword; the blade is a from medium carbon alloy steel and features a deep, weight-reducing fuller and an acute tip. It is tempered to a 48-50 HRC hardness. Its hilt has a guard and pommel of solid, cast antiqued brass. The blade tang goes into the pommel and then is welded directly to the guard and pommel to create a very durable hilt construction. A tightly fitted band of quality, spiralled leather upon the grip completes the seax. This dagger features a lifetime guarantee from Baltimore Knife & Sword. Should the dagger break under normal stage combat use then it will be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer.
