- The all purpose knife used by the Northmen of Rhovanion. The blade of the knife could be anywhere from 10 to 50 cm long, but all were single edged and triangular in cross-section. The back of the blade ran parallell to the edge, usually tapering only at the end to meet the tip. The handles were broad and riveted just below the pommel, which was round or onion shaped, while the grips were made of leather or wood.
- 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. Old English seax, sax and Old Frisian sax are identical with Old Saxon and Old High German saks, all from a Common Germanic *sahsom from a root *sah, *sag- "to cut" (also in saw, from a PIE root *sek-). The term scramaseax, scramsax lit. "wounding-knife" is sometimes used for disambiguation, even though it is not attested in Old English, but taken from an occurrence of scramasaxi in Gregory of Tours' History of the Franks.

The name of the roofer's tool, the zax, is a development from this word.
