Seax in the works

[Sam Salvati]

New Seax I am working on. Steel is 5160, blade is around 18 inches long with around a 5 inch handle. Going to go with white oak with brass pins for the hilt, with maybe nickel silver liners between the wood and tang (opinions and suggestions/critique welcome). Please forgive the crappy pictures.

I like it. It's like the wharnclif of short swords.

Very nice! Who doesn't like seax on the beach?

Thanks guys! This one is coming along nicely, I was "test cutting" with just the as forged and cleaned up a bit blade with no edge on it yet(not heat treated), on these plowed up ice blocks, feels really good, alotta of guts behind the cut, tip is strong and when you hit the sweetspot on the edge it just feels really good.
