Every Viking Chieftain was familiar if not an expert with sword, shield, spear and axe. But these are long and heavy and often bulky weapons that were not always within reach so for 24-hour protection they almost universally carried a large Sax. Suspended from the belt in front or back (where it didnt interfere with other weapons like their sword or hand axe) it was instantly available if suddenly attacked and was often used in tandem with other weapons. While most Sax blades resemble the profile of our Woodsmans Sax with a straight edge and sloping point there were popular variations like the broke back Chieftans Sax we are introducing here. Forged out of high carbon steel with a hard spring temper and satin polished it boasts a broke back blade profile where the line formed by the spine rises then falls abruptly to the point of giving the illusion of a clip point bowie knife while actually predating the bowie by many centuries! Since the Chieftans Sax is meant to be a weapon first and a tool a distant second it comes with a modestly sized brass guard that serves to keep the fingers from sliding forward on to the blade while offering a modicum of protection from opposing weapons. But it is the handle of the Chieftans Sax that we are especially proud of. Intricately hand carved in deep relief in link pattern that is visually stunning and compliments the matching brass guard and pommel. Each Chieftans Sax comes with a period correct brown leather scabbard with brass accents, a leather laced seam and period correct leather carrying straps!

10 of 10 Cold Steel Chieftan Sax, Wood Reviews
Well, having a pommel connected by a screw is not historically correct at all and it was not even on straight the blade is nice. The leather straps that come with it. We're dried out and started ripping and cracking Just by fooling with it the miss journey of the sheath it's nice.
Picked this up as a present for a norse/viking themed wedding, to be gifted to the groom. I inspected beforehand and was very happy with the quality overall. I think the edge could have been a little bit better, but nothing I was upset about, especially since it will most likely be used as a decoration or ceremonially. I was a bit surprised that the sheath does not appear to have a welt, but it is otherwise well constructed and feels robust.
Pleasantly surprised by the quality at this price point. Other than a layer of thick oil on the blade itself, the sword arrived clean and free of factory grit. Cleaning and re-oiling the blade revealed a very fine, reflective satin polish. Fit and finish on the guard, handle and sheath is solid, and overall we have a very handsomely appointed and lively blade. The only issue is the edge was not completely Cold Steel sharp. The first inch was fully sharpened, but the rest was not properly apexed (though still good enough to go to work). That first inch set the expectation, otherwise this would have been five stars. Still highly recommended if you are curious about this one - go for it.
1550 carbon steel: easy to sharpen to a shaving edge but the satin finish mars easily and the edge is obviously not retained as well as 1075 or 1095. If you want the looks, get it, but if you need the utility of it go get the woodmans seax instead: cheaper and will do you better for that, not to say this won’t do work but it’ll show it after a bit.
Another quality product from cold steel. I literally only buy knives from them. This knife seems well built and should last a very long time.
Exactly the high level of quality I expected from Cold Steel. 5 stars!
I can not believe that this is a cold steel knife. This thing looks like it was put together by a child. It certainly doesn,t measure up to your usual products. Please contact me to get my rating. KJ
The only thing I would ever consider a knock is it has about 1.5 unsharpened but easily fixed later. It’s a razor and great build quality! Sheath is fantastic and looks stellar
I bought it for my husband and he was ecstatic! He has a million knives and was so pleased to receive the Sax. He said he loves it and that it is just like the one on the show The Last Kingdom.

My son needed a good blade that he could use in the field and he could depend on. He was amazed by the look and quality of this blade
