Limited Deluxe-replica of a 9th century Anglo-Saxon seax. The master was found in the river Thames in 1857 and is displayed in the
British Museum nowadays. That’s why it’s also called Thames scramasax. The blade is complexly decorated and provided
with a runic inscription. On one side you’ll find engraved the complete runic alphabet, on the other side the word Beagnoth,
which is supposed to be the name of the owner or the smith of the seax.
