Wheeler classifies these as his type III [WHEELER 1935]. They were made and used in Britain from the 8th to 10th centuries [THOMPSON 2004]:p.81. A number of langseaxs have been found in the Netherlands

Introduction to the British finds
The following langseax information is primarily based on the work of Vera Evison [EVISON 1964] and her comparison of the Keen Edge Ferry langseax to others found in Britain. For the purposes of clarification langeaxes are defined here as having single edged blades with a cutting edge of over 12" and with no hilt fittings.

Other Possible Langseaxs
We have found the following langseaxs refereed to online with people quoting 'The Metallography of Early Ferrous Edge Tools & Edged Weapons' by R.F. Tylecote & B.J.J.Gilmour. Unfortunately we do not have access to this book and so are unable to determine if they were originally decorated with inlay.
