"That the Saxon saex was not a tool ever used for war but a hunting/utility knife only. Apparently someone has tried a saex against both sword and spear and it was found wanting. I have seen pictures of some long saex which looked very weapony to me "
Conal, I completely agree with you. The saex is not that different from a Bowie knife, and while it is definitely inferior against a longer weapon (sword/spear), you can very easily kill someone with it.
