I Forge Iron

Pattern welded seax blade

This little (well, not so little, the blade is about 9") thing took more welding and effort than anything I have made from modern steels, Im having some time away from the glitz of udderholm in a quest to understand it all a bit more.

This blade contains many times refined blister (shear steel) I made (I grew some of the plants last year used to carburise the iron!), wrought iron, pure ni and some good old simple w2 in the backing bars, the gently undulating wavey line is an attempt at a wolfs tooth pattern, but it got a bit more elongated that I originally planned!

I had a lot of fun making it, Im getting more drawn towards the idea of making blade from dirt in the next couple of years!

Thanks for looking, all comments appreciated,
