For longer Seaxes see [[Langseax]] and for Scandinavian combat knives see [[Norse Style Knives]].
<br>
For longer Seaxes over 30cm (12") see [[Langseax]] and for Scandinavian combat knives see [[Norse Style Knives]].

Harke defined knives and short seaxes by size with knives being under 175mm and short seaxes being over 180mm. [CAMERON 2000:p.49]. Like Esther Cameron we have also used this as our definition. Blades of over 12" in length are more usually defined as [[Langseax]]es.
