The sword blade is complexly decorated, provided with a runic inscription. On one side you'll find engraved the complete runic alphabet (Futhark), on the other side the word Beagnoth, which is believed to have been the name of the bearer or smith of the seax when originally created somewhere between the 5th and well into the 11 century. This replica is very close to an early medieval original. The inscription is like the original and inlaid with gold and silver. The single-edged, blued blade is narrow and yet has quite deep fuller making it light to wield. It comes unsharpened. The wooden handle scales are securely riveted to the blade's tang with brass rivets.Delivery includes a sturdy, authentic sheath made of cowhide with knot-patterned fittings.
