Quote:"I suspect the term scramasax is misleading in this case."

Almost certainly is -- it seems the term was only used once in the literature, by Gregory of Tours, I think, and he forgot to explain exactly what one was!
Yeah. I think "Langsax" is the more generally accepted term. Basically its a long seax.
