Hello people of the forum,
Two custom orders based on some of my "older" work but with small differences (if you can say that a year ago is old lol). Not much else to say. Enjoy!

Kraki (a seax)
It may not be much but I am very proud of these plunge cut, making them was a moment of "oh, that's how to do it properly!". If I was to re make the knife, I would probably make the front of the handle thinner. This knife was hard to make in its simplicity... does it make sense? lol
Specs:
  • Steel: 52100 High carbon steel, satin finished and tempered at 57 HRC.
  • Thickness: 0.188 inch
  • Handle: Green canvas micarta, hourglass shaped for maximum comfort.
  • Sheath: Kydex with adustable height belt loop and locking mechanism to tightly secure the knife in the sheath.

Specs:
  • Steel: 440C, mirror polished and tempered to 60 HRC with cryogenic treatment.
  • Blade length: 8 inches
  • Thickness: 0.125 inch at the thickest part of the spine
