Good day guys,
Well, before anyone uses its naughty little mind, I must pin it down that this post is about a knife, nothing else
Ok, so I continue my recently found medieval line with a Seax, made for the poor peasants, as I imagine it. There are no fancy damascus this time, or elaborate carving. Nothing a man would begrudge, when the time comes to use it as a tool. Because that is what this is, a hardy, tough tool, which longs for action!
The blade is forged of 5160 with two blood groves on one side, aged a little bit for more character. It is 27 cm long, 4 mm thick and 41 mm at its widest point.
Its handle is roughly carved oak, with antler bolster and iron fittings. The iron gives balance to the large blade and also proves efficient when cracking nuts or anything else a proper viking would like to crack
The overall length is 39 cm.
All in a sturdy leather sheath, made of thick cowhide.
Hope you like it...
