Fantasy Seax Cleaver – 14-Inch Hand-Forged Tactical Fantasy Cleaver with Sawback Spine & Fuller

Fantasy Seax Cleaver — 14-Inch Hand-Forged Tactical Chopper with a Sawback Spine

This is a hand-forged fantasy cleaver — a 14-inch tactical seax-style chopper forged in Nepal from 5160 leaf-spring steel, full-tang and water-tempered. A bold, modern fantasy blade built to work: a wide cleaver profile with a sawback spine, a long fuller, and a skeletonized tang with a hooked, drilled pommel. Equal parts working tool and warrior's blade.

This is not a historical seax and does not pretend to be one. It takes the raw idea of the Germanic and Norse seax and reimagines it as a tactical fantasy cleaver — the kind of blade that looks like it belongs in a survival kit or a fantasy armoury, and chops like it means it. The wide forward belly delivers cleaver-style cutting power, while the clipped tip keeps it quick.

The detailing is where it earns the "fantasy" name: a sawback spine for a tactical look and light utility notching, a deep fuller down the blade, and a skeletonized tang with whitewood scales and a hooked pommel that drops the weight and sets the aesthetic. Underneath the styling it is real 5160 with a water-tempered edge, sharpened and ready, in a leather scabbard for carry.

Honest note: this is an original Everest Forge fantasy/tactical design — inspired by the seax but deliberately modern, not a historical replica. It is live steel — sharp, full-tang and functional — built for real chopping, clearing and survival use, plus collection and display, but not for contact LARP or edge-on-edge sparring. The sawback is for the look and light utility, not a wood saw.

A Fantasy Blade That Actually Works

Plenty of fantasy cleavers are all show. This one is built on a genuine working platform: 5160 leaf-spring steel, a full tang, and a water-tempered edge that holds up to real chopping and clearing. The fuller and the skeletonized tang cut weight so a wide 14-inch cleaver still moves fast at around 720 grams, and the sawback spine and hooked pommel give it the tactical, fantasy-warrior silhouette without turning it into a wall-hanger. Style and function in one blade.

Shipping, Returns & Warranty

Every blade ships tracked and insured by DHL or FedEx with secure, encrypted checkout, and is covered by our full refund-or-replacement promise. Edged-blade import rules vary by country, so please check your local regulations before ordering. Because each cleaver is forged to order by hand, allow time for crafting before dispatch.

Caring for Your High-Carbon Cleaver

5160 is a high-carbon steel and will surface-rust if neglected. Keep the blade dry, wipe it down after use, and apply a thin coat of protective oil before storage — paying attention to the fuller, sawback and skeletonized cut-outs where moisture can collect. For long-term storage, keep it out of the scabbard so the edge stays dry.
