Default Viking Seax Knife Grip

Hello,

the Vikings and their neighbors use a long knife called SAX/SEAX.
Two of the blades well decorated was found in Great Britain (Sittingbourne and Beagnoth).

My question is: Is any item found with its original grip ?

I saw a lot of reenactment vikings using such items. Most of them have a plain wodden grip without a guard. Some are straight, some curved, some have brass plates as a spacer.
But I have never seen an original one.
May anyone of you have and could send me a link or photo.

Thanks a lot.
Dirk
