I prefer the long blades, myself. But the seax looks beautifully done, Eric. I particularly like the detailed file(?) work on the back of the blade.

I am working on a longer seax (12-14" blade length, I think) made of W1. It will have a Silver wire wrap and a wing-nut style rivet block in pure iron. That one will be done sometime next week. There is also a mono-steel version of the pattern welded one above that I will have done this week (hopefully).
I have about 3 projects for customers that are nearing completion so I am concentrating on those, but when I need a break I sneak in a seax, so these estimates are kinda tentative.
Find me on Facebook, or check out my blog. Contact me at eric@crownforge.net or ericmycue374@comcast.net if you want to talk about a commission or discuss an available piece.

Yes, yes,
I can see I'll need one of those in the future ;)

Thanks! I appreciate it.
It has been a busy spring and summer. I moved my shop and that took forever to set-up (still doing it actually), but I finally have stuff coming to fruition.

Hi Hugh,
It looks great. I especially like your comment, but when I need a break I sneak in a seax. :)
Jeff
(BTW What are you looking for the seax?)

|

I just sold this piece, but I could make a similar one in pattern-weld for $850 with $200-250 for a period sheath. A leather travel sheath would be $100
Thanks for all the nice comments.
