The Scramasax, carried by the Saxons and the Vikings between the 4th and 10th centuries came in a wide range of sizes and was used both as a tool and a weapon. Carried horizontally at the back of the belt, the scramasax provided the spearman with both a close-quarters weapon and a tool and utensil in camp. Our SH1075 Scramasax, with its foot-long blade, would provide both slashing and thrusting power in battle while handling heavy-duty chores around the home and camp. The Scramasax is equipped with a leather horizontal-carry sheath.
