nerdsmith Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 This is my first seax, after researching a little bit of these knives i wanted to make one so here it is. Its made from reclaimed RR track which i according to machinist handbook is around 1060. Its the same stuff my previous knives have been made out and they have performed really well. Handle is made from Juniper/Cedar, alum band, and some white ash to finish it off. Making a matching scabbard soon. The blade was polished to 1000 grit. My first attempt at polishing anything to this level it was a rewarding experience. I havent fully sharpened the blade yet, I am waiting for a whetstone i ordered. I will definitely be making more of these. Here is some really large photos(will edit smaller later).. Enjoy -Tim M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robakyo Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I really like your take on the Seax style. I like that you did file work on the metal spacer as well. I look forward to seeing the sheath as well. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdsmith Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thnx yah that is my fav part too. It turned out to be a mistake, I was testing these metal cutters on that piece of Alumn and i didnt realize it was too close the holes i drilled out, So i just replicated the pattern and bam. My fav feature on the knife. Scabbard coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
