Introducing the Seax of Beagnoth—a remarkable replica of a 9th-century Anglo-Saxon seax, famously known as the Thames scramasax. This exquisite blade pays homage to the master found in the river Thames in 1857, now housed in the prestigious British Museum.

 

Crafted with precision, the intricately decorated blade features a runic inscription, showcasing the complete Anglo-Saxon Runic Futhorc on one side and the name "Beagnoth" on the other—a nod to the original owner or skilled smith of this historic seax.

Staying faithful to its inspiration, our replica boasts a narrow but deep fuller, capturing the essence of the Thames scramasax. The hilt, securely fastened to the tang with brass rivets and adorned with two brass rings, is crafted from wood, providing a comfortable grip. For authenticity, the blade comes non-sharpened.

 

To complete this exceptional piece, a robust cowhide sheath, delivering both protection and authenticity, accompanies the seax. With a total length of approximately 73.5 cm and a weight of around 650 g, this Seax of Beagnoth is a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors seeking a tangible connection to Anglo-Saxon history. Add a touch of the past to your collection with this extraordinary and meticulously crafted seax replica.
