Hi,
I was just reading something and it reffered to a seax being of "hogs back form" and I can't figure out what it looked like (there was no picture obviously). Can anyone tell me what this refers to? I am guessing it is the name of some surviving seax but I could be wrong...

The term (not an archeological term) refers to an arched knife back in contrast to the broken back knife back.
