The scramasax was not merely a weapon—it was an essential part of daily life, carried by warriors, craftsmen, and travelers alike. Its widespread use across Northern Europe makes it one of the defining blades of the Viking Age and Anglo-Saxon period.
Designed in association with Keith Wescovich, this is one of Deepeeka’s best sellers. It was developed as a minimalist model for reenactment use.
This example represents a narrow scramasax form, characterized by its straight spine, single cutting edge, and practical proportions. Unlike the longer broken-back seax variants, this form emphasizes versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of everyday tasks while still being effective in combat situations.
Deepeeka’s reproduction features a hand-forged high carbon steel blade, paired with traditional fittings inspired by Saxon styles. The fittings have been cast in Aluminium, and are blackened to give it the effect.
The grip construction ensures a firm and comfortable hold, while the included leather sheath allows for practical carry, reflecting historical usage.
This piece is ideal for reenactment, living history, and collectors, offering both historical authenticity and functional craftsmanship.
