Seaxs were in prevalence during the 1100s and 1200s(the 12th and 13th century), as well as the aforementioned eras after that, they were still in use in Ireland and Northern Italy, just not as prevalent. My persona is an Irishman.
The very latest example of a sax I know is one from a 12th century dump in London, which is considered a possible inherited sax that eventually got thrown out. If you can show any later examples I'd be happy to see them :) A knife with clipped point does not count as a sax b.t.w., that's just a blade shape variation on a late medieval knife. They are not an evolutionary derivative of saxes. Some 12th century eating knives do continue the same construction, even down to patternwelding. But these are small eating knives, not really saxes (weapons).
