Hello Everyone,
Here is a working-sized, pattern-welded seax. It is made in the traditional manner. The spine is wrought iron (with a very visible pattern and a lot of character).
The cutting portion of the blade is 9 layers of 1080 and 15n20. There is a twist in the pattern.
The handle is a beautiful piece of birdseye maple, with wrought iron fittings and leather spacer.
The overall length is just under 11", with a 6" plus blade and a 4.25" handle.
The blade is shaped in accordance with museum findings. It has a large tang going through the handle. The blade has a convex bevel, and is wickedly sharp.
This is not a factory knife! It is entirely hand-made. If you want a perfect knife with no character, do not buy this one. If you want a unique piece of hand-made art that I have sweated and pondered over for the past two weeks, then this is your knife.
By the way, I have finally gotten a maker's mark, and this is the third I have stamped.
Overall, this is a very strong and beautiful knife, it will last generations.
I am asking $300.00 for it. Please PM if you are interested.
