j.w.s. Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Here's a seax that just I finished at the shop. Jeremy and I have been both working hard to get the new shop up and running and this is the first real blade to come out of from start to finish. Blade is forged out of 1084/15N20. Fittings are all mild steel. Handle is lace wood, copper and ebony. Here's some pics of some of the process and the final blade. I forged a companion piece out of the same steels. I created a small pocket in the larger sheath just for it. Anyway, enjoy.-J Edited September 19, 2015 by j.w.s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.w.s. Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Perspective seems off in the pictures. Blade is 15" & overall is 22". Construction is all traditional, using a peened nut to make a compression fitting for the assembly.J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7A749 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Fantastic. Great attention to detail. I'm not any kind of knife guy, but that's one sweet blade right there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorō Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Nice work, just a question. you used 1084 and 15n20 welded together, did you have to do any twisting or folding during the forge welding? I'm very curious about pattern welding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
