→7.1. Seaxes and Double Edged Fighting Knives
* Langseaxes should be parallel-edged (back edge to cutting edge).
* The majority of Langseax finds have been highly decorated indicating a high status weapon...not a poor mans sword.
* Double-edged fighting knives (daggers, stilletoes, basilards etc.) Although doubleedged fighting knives were known throughout Eastern Europe, they were veryrare in Northern Europe throughout Regia Anglorum’s stated period of interestuntil the Very Late (1080 - 1179AD) and Angevin (1180 - 1215AD) periods.* Until this document is updated to contain specific information on double edgedfighting knives please contact the MaA and AO if you wish to use one and theywill be able to guide you on the correct styles to choose.
