Medieval Scramasax

The Scramasax carried by the Saxons and the Vikings between the 4th and 10th centuries, came in a wide range of sizes and was used both as a tool and a weapon. Carried horizontally, at the back of the belt, the scramasax provided the spearman with both a close-quarters weapon and a tool and utensil in camp. It has a foot-long blade, enough to provide both slashing and thrusting power in battle while handling heavy-duty chores around the home and camp. It is equipped with a leather horizontal-carry sheath.
