D-Guard Long Seax Machete – 18” Hand-Forged Viking-Style 

Inspired by the legendary blades of ancient Saxon and Viking warriors, the D-Guard Long Seax Machete from Everest Forge merges history with modern craftsmanship. This robust 18-inch single-edged blade is hand forged in Nepal using recycled 5160 carbon steel from truck leaf springs—renowned for its toughness, flexibility, and edge retention. The water-tempered blade is sharpened and ready for serious chopping, slicing, or survival work. Equipped with a unique D-guard rosewood handle, this seax offers improved knuckle protection and grip security, making it ideal for heavy-duty use in bushcraft, combat training, or historical reenactments.

Historical Legacy:

The seax was the signature blade of early Germanic tribes, Saxons, and Vikings—a versatile weapon used in battle, daily life, and ceremonial contexts. With its straight-back profile and strong point, the seax was favored for its reliability, whether for self-defense or working in rugged landscapes. Everest Forge brings this historic weapon to life in a form ready for today’s adventurers.
