I like that a lot.

DC:
How do you pronounce "seax'. Sea-ax, sax, seeks or sex?

I hope it's Sea-ax.  The others could cause unfortunate misunderstandings.

KHalverson:
i think i read the proper pronunciation is seeks.

DC:
Well I googled it and got this 

"Seax knife
Seax (Old English pronunciation: [ˈsæɑks]; also sax, sæx, sex; invariant in plural, latinized sachsum) is an Old English word for "knife". ."

Looks like they're all right. ;D
