KH2184B -- Scramasax
The Scramasax (SH1075, KH2184B, KH2184S), carried by the Saxons and the Vikings between the 4th and 10th centuries, came in a wide range of sizes and was used both as a tool and a weapon. Carried horizontally, at the back of the belt, the scramasax provided the spearman with both a close-quarters weapon and a tool and utensil in camp. Our SH1075 Scramasax, with its foot-long blade, would provide both slashing and thrusting power in battle while handling heavy-duty chores around the home and camp. The KH2184B and KH2184S models are patterned on a surviving blade just 3 ½” long, and while these would have been used primarily as eating utensils they could, if needed, be called upon to inflict a disabling wound. These two pieces are authentically hilted in bone and stag horn respectively. All three models are equipped with leather horizontal-carry sheaths.
