Scramasax / Seax with Damascus Steel Blade and Wood-and-Bone Handle
This broken back seax features a sharpened 256-layer Damascus steel blade. The top part of the wooden handle terminates in a bone ring and a brass collar. The grip's butt cap with convenient lanyard hole is also made of brass.
The beautiful leather sheath with ornate brass fittings is equipped with two brass rings and leather belt loops for typical Viking-style horizontal carry.
Please note that, as the blade is sharp and fully functional, this dagger is designed as a collector's or decoration piece and not suited for combat reenactment!
The terms Damascus steel, damascene or pattern welded designate a compound steel forged out of two or more different types of steel. It is named after its birthplace, the Syrian city of Damascus, a former stronghold of the patterned steel production. As a common practice, a harder high carbon steel and a milder low carbon steel are repeatedly forge welded and folded together. The high carbon steel ensures a higher hardness, a better temperability and longer lasting edge retention, whereas the milder steel confers greater blade flexibility and tensile strength. This procedure, which arose in a time where steel qualities were often low and inconsistent, enables to combine the positive attributes of the various steel grades. Besides, the different shadings generated by the varying carbon content of the alternating layers engender strikingly beautiful patterns, such as the twisted motif called Torsion Damascus pattern or the Rose Damascus pattern. Undoubtedly, these unusual patterns partly explain why inherent magical properties were attributed to the Damascus steel blades of the Middle Ages.
