I really hope its not a sucks.. i mean seax .. seax suck sorry to the dogs who love them.

Why do you feel this way? Not judging, just curious as I've never had one but it's something that's held my interest for years now.

I find a seax interesting; it's like a cleaver with a sharp point. The Busse seax was well done.

Actually that blade style is supposed to be a great “fighting” blade. Unlike a conventional blade, the Seax won’t slide out of the cut but slice all the way to the tip. So says “the experts”.

They seem to have served the Vikings quite well.

This was my understanding, that it was meant purely for fighting. Your description makes a lot of sense, I know blades that have a curve or belly can definitely do this. How much of a difference it makes may be semantics, but it's a nice idea.

JUST a guess on my part, but it could make up to an inch deeper slicing cut over a conventional type blade. In THINK Michael Janice (?) designed the Yojimbo as a Seax type blade for that reason.

Just did a fact check, yup.

You guys bring up alot of good facts and points for. I really think its just a personal opinion on my part, my comment was mostly sarcasm and always fun to spark up the topic with some debate, except i totally agree with you all haha. I like them on smaller kitchen knives .. but im a clipped point bowie guy.. curves the wrong way on a big seax for my tastes lol.

I'm a clipped point Bowie guy myself, but I can also appreciate the seax.

T88, yeah when you talk Bowie to Tom, specially BIG Bowies he has to change his name to Woody!

??? You got me there Randy.
