Seax

A single-edged utility knife carried by virtually every Viking, from farmers to warlords, and used as both an everyday tool and a close-combat backup weapon. Its universal presence made it one of the most common weapons on any Viking raiding party. Blade lengths varied widely, from small utility knives to substantial fighting seaxes.
