$825.00

Also scramasax and scramseax. Iconic form with its Frankish roots evident. 9 1/4” length with 6 7/8” wedge section blade with gracefully dropped point. The tapered “whittle” tang rusted as it was embedded in a wood grip which retained cyclical moisture. Classic form. These were side knives for close combat battle used for thrusting and slashing. Throat slashing was a favorite Viking tactic in hand-to-hand fighting as its results were immediate, freeing the warrior to defend against other threats.
