Trusted by real craftsmen
The Viking Seax Knife by JW SteelCrafts is a handcrafted Norse-style fixed blade built for everyday character and collecting. It features a 10-inch carbon steel blade with a 5-inch Pakka wood handle, giving it a balanced, comfortable feel in the hand. The single-edged seax profile follows the classic historical shape.
This piece works well as a camp and outdoor knife with a heritage look, a collector's item, and a standout gift for history lovers. Because each knife is hand-forged, small differences in the blade and wood grain make every piece unique.
The seax was the everyday blade of the Norse and Anglo-Saxon world, carried by men and women alike from roughly 400 to 1100 AD. Most were practical, mid-sized knives used to prepare food, repair gear, and handle daily tasks, with the single edge and angled point that define the form. It was so common that the Saxons may even have taken their name from it. Affordable and dependable, the seax outlasted many grander blades in daily life. Today, hand-forged versions like this carbon steel seax keep that practical heritage alive for collectors and outdoor users.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning
Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish. - Dry Thoroughly
After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture. - Proper Storage
Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials. - Avoid Impact
While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece. - Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity. - Routine Inspection
Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.
By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
