Description
Seax (Old English pronunciation: [ˈsæɑks]; also sax , sæx , sex ; invariant in plural, latinized sachsum ) is an Old English word for "knife". In modern archaeology, the term seax is used specifically for a type of small sword, knife or dagger typical of the Germanic peoples of the Migration Period and the Early Middle Ages, especially the Saxons. These vary considerably in size.
In heraldry, the seax is a charge consisting of a curved sword with a notched blade, appearing, for example, in the coats of arms of Essex and the former Middlesex.
