I Forge Iron

first time seax


Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,
I am glad to be able to get back to making knives. Tendon in rt hand healing well, and I got the go ahead to hammer and file again :lol: :excl:

So, I decided to try and make a Seax. Maybe my ancestors will be proud. I have never made one before, but I entered in a "knife in the hat" run by another forum. The knife of choice was seax (the one I wanted to try, anyway).

1095
8.5 inches long
1.3" at widest point
.125" thick

rosewood handle
stainless and leather bolster
15n20 buttcap

I REALLY LIKE THIS KIND OF KNIFE! Advice and information is welcomed (thanks Petr!). I hope to get a lot better with these, they are fun and historically interesting. Also, I have to decide if this one is good enough to send as my contribution to the KITH.

Thanks for looking,

Kevin
