Rese�a del editor:

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Seax (also Hadseax, Sax, Seaxe, Scramaseax,Scramsax and Sachsum-lat. ) in Old English stands for knife or cutting tool. In modern archeology (and further in this article), the term seax is used specifically for the typically large knives that were worn by men in the 5th to 11th century, in the region roughly enclosed by Ireland, Scandinavia and Northern Italy. In heraldry the seax is a charge consisting of a curved sword with a notched blade.
