Between the 6th-9th centuries, Anglo-Saxon warriors mainly used lances, shields & axes. Most men would wear a seax, an Old English word for "knife".
Mail body armours, metal helms & kite shields were introduced in the 11th century, with William the Conqueror. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ern6SGlWMAE-ler.jpg
