The Bushcraft Seax is the latest addition to Ontario’s Bushcraft series. Based on the historic Anglo-Saxon seax (seax is the Old English word for knife) it is a design that was popular from about the 7th-12th century. The deep clip forms a narrow point which is optimized for fine cutting work and only 1/4″ above the blade edge line to maximize cutting forces similar to a sheepsfoot blade edge. The hilt is the ergonomic and time-tested Bushcraft Field Knife hilt and the handle scales are made of laminated hardwood. Overall the knife reflects the over 500-year tradition of functional seax design made with modern materials and technology.
