Beagnoth's Seax with runes, silver and gold inlay, Viking seax

Beagnoth Seax with silver and gold inlay - limited luxury edition
 
A replica of a 9th-century Anglo-Saxon long seax, strictly limited to 250 pieces worldwide. The original was found in the River Thames in London in 1857 and is currently on display at the British Museum. It is therefore also known as the Thames Scramasax or Thames sword.
The blade is elaborately engraved and features a runic inscription; the first part displays the Anglo-Saxon futhark, while the second part of the inscription reads "Beagnoth," presumably the name of the owner or the bladesmith.
Our reconstruction is largely identical in shape and dimensions to the early medieval original. As with the original, the inscription is rendered in gold and silver inlay. The single-edged blued blade is unsharpened and features a narrow but quite deep, continuous fuller next to the inscription. The wooden handle scales are attached to the tang with brass rivets.
Included in the delivery is a robust and authentic cowhide leather scabbard. Unlike the standard version, the scabbard of this limited premium replica features four brass appliqués with a knot pattern.
