PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Seax pronounced sacks from the Old English and Old Norse word simply meaning knife was the most universally carried blade of the Viking Age, worn by every Norse man, woman, and warrior from the 5th to the 11th century without exception. So culturally significant was this single-edged blade that entire Germanic tribes identified themselves by it, with the very name Saxon derived directly from the Seax they carried as their most essential daily tool and identity symbol.
Unlike the double-edged Viking sword, the Seax featured a distinctive single-edged blade with a thick spine, often 5mm to 8mm near the handle that allowed the user to press their thumb or palm on the spine for controlled carving and precision work. The iconic Broken Back Seax design, featuring a straight cutting edge with an abruptly angled back that drops sharply toward the point, was one of the most versatile and recognizable blade designs of the Viking Age

FAQs
1. What is a Viking Long Seax Knife?
A Viking Long Seax, historically known as a Langseax, is a single-edged long blade of the Norse and Germanic world, featuring blades of 50 centimeters or longer with a thick spine, single cutting edge, and distinctive clip point or broken back tip geometry. Long Seaxes were historically found in high-status Viking graves and are considered the most prestigious class of Norse seax blades.
2. What is the overall length of this Damascus Viking Long Seax?
The JW SteelCrafts Damascus Steel Viking Long Seax has an overall length of 16 to 18 inches, placing it firmly in the historically accurate Langseax category and delivering the commanding presence and powerful performance of an authentic Viking long blade.
3. What makes the Seax different from a regular knife or sword?
The Seax is distinguished by its single-edged blade, thick spine, and distinctive clip point or broken back tip geometry, unlike the double-edged Viking sword. The thick spine allowed Norse warriors to press their thumb or palm against it for controlled precision work, while the single sharp edge delivered powerful draw cuts for chopping, skinning, and demanding field tasks.
4. What is the Damascus clip and pommel on this Viking Seax?
The Damascus clip refers to the angled back section of the blade near the tip, forged from the same hand-layered Damascus steel as the blade, while the Damascus pommel is the end cap of the handle, also crafted from matching Damascus steel. Together they create a fully coordinated Damascus aesthetic that gives this Long Seax exceptional visual cohesion and historical character.
5. Is this Viking Long Seax a good historical replica collector's piece?
Absolutely. The JW SteelCrafts Damascus Viking Long Seax combines historically accurate Langseax proportions and design with hand-forged Damascus steel, matching Damascus clip and pommel, and a genuine leather sheath, making it a stunning, historically-inspired collector's piece and a truly exceptional gift for Viking history enthusiasts, medieval replica collectors, and serious knife lovers.
Let customers speak for us
I'm very pleased with this tent after having it for two years I've been in the rain I've been in the snow and it's held up pretty good but the cover that covers it did not hold up that good but the tent is perfect
Really enjoy the awning. Easy setup and got a little rain on the first trip. Easy to adjust for the run off. Very happy with the purchase!
I am one of the earliest customers Astrodome, I bought it and didn’t set it up for almost a year. By the time we set it up, we were blown away by the beauty of this space we purchased it on a mountain ledge in our glamping retreat in Lake County California two hours north of San as much as I love this space there are definitely some challenges with it in our location. It might work better than other locations, but we have had problems with the stakes, slipping and collapsing in the ground beneath and with the prevailing winds, it did stay up and it stays dry, even in tornadoes, but because the wind hits it from One Direction coming from the coast, this is definitely been a challenge for us we are going to try adding some weight inside it. The guests absolutely love this space keep in mind that with those skylights it’s going to get hot in the summertime but what’s nice is in the winter. It heats up almost passive solar. it’s also wonderful with a woodstove. A very cost effective alternative to a geodesic dome! If you want to experience it stay in ours, on Hipcamp.
I bought one of these at Scheels and absolutely love it. Great design, has everything you would ever need in a first aid/trauma/survival kit. Have one in all of my vehicles now. These guys truly thought of everything
A complete coverage of possibilities for my project and needs.
I love my new tent stove. Costumer service was also attentive and great to work with. Thank you.
The mounts work perfect with the truck bed rack I have on. Thank you for the excellent line of communication. You guys never kept me in the dark. I will ordering from you guys again.
I was wondering if you are able to sell just two extra mounts or do they just come in a set of six.
The color was even better in person. For well, looks well made and was easy to fold up and put into the carrying case. There was a bunch of colored plastic pieces from manufacturing on the mat, but I was able to vacuum it right up so be careful pulling it out.
Although it took a little extra time the delay very of my OVS Truck Topper was great. Good price too!
Fully engaged with customer, helped me get the crossbar I needed on time!
Product worked out great for my rack setup.
Order was delayed due to manufacturer delays, but my questions were answered and expectations on timing reset along the way. Cross bars were in perfect condition and work great!
I was in the market for a 3/4 length roof rack for my 4Runner as I wanted an upgrade from the OEM rails but still wanted to retain a somewhat OEM look. I am very happy that I went with the Sherpa Needle. It is a high quality rack with the best install method out of all the racks I looked at. I like that it is designed so you don’t have to deal with a mess of silicone when mounting. It is also nice that the fairing sits just above the roof instead of resting on it so that the paint does not get scratched. I was worried about wind noise because of this but I am happy to say there is no added wind noise at all.
I am also glad I purchased this rack through Live More Outside. I shopped around and they had the best pricing considering I was able to get a discount code, shipping was free, and they don’t charge sales tax. Shipping was prompt and I received the rack sooner than I thought I would.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely come back to Live More Outside as I continue to build my rig.
By far one of the best customer service! Nathan has been a huge help on any questions and quick to respond! Live more outside is top notch. We are getting ready to hit our first outing with our new RTT. Cant wait to test it out. We also just purchased a 270 awning. I found one on another website but wanted to keep my business with live more outside. Nathan price matched and beat their price! We will continue to keep our business with this company!
