D2 Steel — The Performance Choice

D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that delivers exceptional wear resistance and edge retention — significantly tougher than standard carbon steel and more resistant to corrosion than most high-carbon steels. It is the steel of choice for blades that need to hold a sharp edge through demanding use without constant resharpening. For a seax designed for hunting, camping, and bushcraft, D2 is an excellent choice that balances historical performance with modern metallurgy.

Full Tang Construction

The full tang design means the steel runs the complete length of the handle — from blade tip to pommel. This eliminates the weak joint between blade and handle that causes most knife failures under heavy use. The handle scales are attached to the full-width tang, giving you a seax that can handle the most demanding outdoor tasks without compromise.

The Seax Design — Historical & Practical

The seax was the quintessential knife of the early medieval Germanic and Norse world — carried by warriors, farmers, and craftsmen alike as an all-purpose tool and sidearm. Its single-edged blade geometry is one of the most practical and timeless designs in knife history. This 15-inch version captures the long seax tradition — a blade with the reach and authority of a historical warrior's knife, built for modern outdoor performance.
