PRACTICAL SCRAMASAX (SH2297)
The Scramasax carried by the Saxons and Vikings between the 4th and 10th centuries, was utilized as both a tool and a weapon. Carried horizontally at the back of the belt, the Scramasax provided the spearman with a close-quarters weapon when needed, and its broad blade could handle many day-to-day chores. The ancestry of the Scramasax, which evolved from similar weapons in bronze (and later iron) used by the Celts, is portrayed in the decoration of the guard and pommel.

This Practical Scramasax (SH2297) has been produced by CAS/HANWEI in response to many requests from Viking re-enactors. Its 12 ½” blade, with a rounded tip and 1/16” wide edge, make it an ideal secondary weapon. A horizontal-carry scabbard is provided.

The Vikings were Nordic people
Danes, Swedes and Norwegians, the Vikings are known as great warriors. This reputation is based on what we know about their weapons and battle tactics. Basic weapons comprised sword or axe, spear and shield, and most men had a dagger attached to their belts.
