Did you know that the name of the Saxon race was derived from the knife they carried? Its true the Sax knife was so important in their daily lives that an entire people became known by it. So, what was so special about this knife that it endured from the from the 6th to the 12th century? The answer is, it was easy and cheap to make and incredibly versatile and effective. Usually found without a guard, with a simple wood or bone hilt it offered a long wide, thick blade with a straight edge and a sloping point (easy to forge). This made it just about ideal as it chopped, sliced, whittled and carved.
Cold Steel love their history and the work potential of the sax so they decided to make a simple version called the Woodsman’s Sax. Like some historical saxes that have survived, the Cold Steel Woodsman features a stout 28cm (11”) long blade with the characteristic sloping point and an unadorned wooden handle made from exotic imported hardwood. Each of the broad bladed saxes also come with a sturdy “period correct” leather scabbard, complete with belt straps, and accented with solid brass “period correct” buckles.
