HRC 58–60 — Field-Ready Performance

HRC 58–60 is the hardness range used by serious hunting and outdoor knives — hard enough to hold a sharp edge through demanding field tasks, tough enough to resist chipping under heavy use. At this hardness, the carbon steel blade delivers reliable cutting performance for hunting, camping, and bushcraft tasks without requiring constant resharpening.

The Seax Design

The seax was the quintessential knife of the early medieval Germanic and Norse world — a single-edged fixed blade carried by warriors, farmers, and craftsmen alike as an all-purpose tool and sidearm. Its clean, purposeful blade geometry is one of the most practical and timeless designs in knife history. At 14 inches overall with a 9-inch blade, each knife in this set captures the long seax tradition in a capable, field-ready package.

Who This Set Is For

• Hunting and camping partners who want a matched pair of capable seax knives for field use
• Collectors who want a matched set of handmade seax knives
• Gift buyers looking for a premium, memorable knife gift set for outdoor enthusiasts
• Outdoor enthusiasts who want a backup seax for camp and field use

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash and dry immediately after each use — carbon steel will oxidize if left wet
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blades after each use
• Oil the hardwood handles periodically to prevent drying and cracking
• Store each knife in its leather sheath in a dry location
• Sharpen with a whetstone to maintain the cutting edge
