Cold Steel CS88HUK Chieftain's Sax (Seax) Fixed Blade Knife l19" Overall 13-5/8" 1055 Carbon Steel, Carved Malaysian Sal Wood Handle, Leather Scabbard! Every Viking Chieftain was familiar if not an expert with a sword, shield, spear, and axe. But these are long and heavy and often bulky weapons that were not always within reach so for 24-hour protection they almost universally carried a large Sax. Suspended from the belt in front or back (where it didn’t interfere with other weapons like their sword or hand axe) it was instantly available if suddenly attacked and was often used in tandem with other weapons. While most Sax blades resemble the profile of the Woodsman's Sax with a straight edge and sloping point there were popular variations like the broke-back Chieftain's Sax Cold Steel is introduced here. Forged out of high carbon steel with a hard spring temper and satin polished it boasts a “brokeback” blade profile where the line formed by the spine rises then falls abruptly to the point of giving the illusion of a clip point bowie knife while actually predating the bowie by many centuries! Since the Chieftain's Sax is meant to be a weapon first and a tool a distant second it comes with a modestly sized brass guard that serves to keep the fingers from sliding forward onto the blade while offering a modicum of protection from opposing weapons. But it is the handle of the Chieftain's Sax that Cold Steel is especially proud of. Intricately hand-carved in deep relief in link pattern that is visually stunning and compliments the matching brass guard and pommel. mach Chieftain's Sax comes with a period-correct brown leather scabbard with brass accents, a leather laced seam, and period-correct leather carrying straps!
