I agree completely.
A seax was intended as an all-purpose tool (from what I've read).
heck, even in 'viking' sagas, it mentions somewhere that so-and-so slew what-his-face with his SEAX, since so-and-so's sword had gone somewhere.
[shame]. My memory sucks.
I thought it was beowulf and grendel,
but having seen that atrocious movie,
there's only one instance of a Seax getting pulled out and not even used.
