Langseax (Long-knife)
A single-edged, one-handed blade, not unlike a machete.
The langseax is an extended version of the shorter seax—
not quite a sword, but close enough to do the job. The
langseax excels in close-combat fighting.
Special. While you are wielding a langseax and either
grappling a target or being grappled by a target, you have
advantage when attacking that target with the langseax.

Skeggøx (Bearded Axe)

Named ‘bearded axe’ for the long blade that curves
down from the bottom of the axe head. The design
gives the axe a larger cutting area without adding more
weight. Not to mention the hooked beard makes for a
nasty backswing.
Special. When you make an attack against a target
that is wielding a shield, you can choose to make a
special attack that does not deal damage. Instead, on a
hit, you hook their shield and yank it from their hands
to the ground unless they succeed on a DC 15 Strength
saving throw.
