What design should I make?

I've drawn up a few designs. What type of seax? And I definitely ill do a seax, just not sure if I should for this piece.

Try google-image-searching for sax OR seax. If you prefer searching for one term, use seax rather than sax and avoid the saxophones.

Why a seax? Because everyone likes them? Because it's a good first project with its relatively simple lines?

It's possible that some of the more impatient types around here are wondering when you'll make your choice and get going.

By the way, if you wanted to make a doloire, and your blank were wide enough (I still think 2" isn't wide enough), you could drill the blade and bolt or rivet a strap on rather than forging a socket.

I've doen a design somewhat like a seax in a sword config which I'll probably go with. I plan on making a real seax, peened and all, later to satisfy my inner viking. ;)

A medieval belt knife would be cool, though. Still in the same "class" of knives in that they got used for frickin' EVERYTHING. Sort of like a hybrid of a kitchen, hunting, and utility knife. :D

Have you started the SEAX yet?:D Why aren't you done, we need video's and pics man!!! JK, have fun with what ever you decide to make. 5160 is a great steel to work with and to use, it's a great choice.
 
I will definitely make a video on either the finished product or seperate videos on the phases. I'm still considering a seax though the design I like best so far is not. I don't know the actual term for the design but it looks like a machete meets meat cleaver meets sword. Will try to post a picture soon
