My knowledge of these knives is cursory, but I would view the tang as a secondary characteristic. These knives were used from Norway to Italy, and from Russia to Spain; obviously there are many variations.

Was browsing MAURICE MAINDRON - LES ARMES, pondering how bad my French really was, when I saw this seax. Looks quite similar to yours.

Very interesting Dmitry ... thank you.
Amazingly and for the first time i see a similar tang and pommel, but the blade projection doesn't seem to belong to the same family ... to my eyes. I find the book itself very interesting, also. Have just ordered a copy. Thanks again for your interest. |

Greetings Fernando,
The blade shape and profile reminded me of a blade I'd seen some time ago, but a modern military knife. I can't help thinking that the blade shape may be historically featured on the Iberian peninsula and be a traditional shape very specific to a particular area. Aitor hunting knives have a stylistically similar blade shape also. Here's the Spanish military knife I recalled..  Sorry I can't help further, just thinking out loud!
