15-Inch Damascus Seax Knife — 10-Inch Wave Pattern Blade, Rosewood Handle

The seax blade holds a distinct place in Viking-era and Anglo-Saxon history, recognized by its single-edged design with a straight spine that angles down toward the tip. Norse craftsmen and warriors carried this style for both practical daily use and its recognizable profile. The Timberline Seax Knife continues that same historical shape as every Handcrafted Seax Knife we forge today.

Damascus steel adds real forging tradition to this historical design. Skilled smiths fold layers of steel together to build strength and pattern, giving each blade a wave-like look that connects modern craftsmanship to centuries-old technique.

Introduction

If you want a blade that reflects genuine Viking-era design, the Timberline Seax Knife delivers real historical accuracy alongside modern craftsmanship. At 15 inches overall, with a 10 inch Damascus blade, it has the length and presence that made the seax recognizable in Norse culture. As a Forged Steel Seax, the wave pattern running through the blade adds visual depth beyond a plain forged edge.

The rosewood handle offers a warm, natural grip that pairs well with the blade's historical design. As a Traditional Seax Knife, it works well for both historical collectors and bushcraft enthusiasts who want a functional piece with real heritage.
