Michal Plezia of Elchon's Workshop gave us a handmade one-of-a-kind broken back seax so that we could have this contest and give it away to a lucky myArmoury.com member!

The forged and ground steel blade has three different metals inlaid into it: twisted brass and silver on one side and copper on the other. A brass bolster and grip of grenadilla wood complete the seax. It also comes with a molded brown leather sheath tooled with a zoomorphic design. More information about this piece can be found in our hands-on review by Chad Arnow.

Please take a moment to visit the Elchon's Workshop Web site and see more of Michal's wares. Give him a big thanks for donating this prize!

Very nice work and it would fill a gap in the collection as I don't have an actual seax although I do have a custom but modern blade of my design that could be considered " seax - like " in blade profile.

And a few bowie knives that, although not seaxs, do fill the same design niche but of a different time and culture ( Good design ideas seem to repeat over time and place ) .

Very nice of Michal Plezia to support this site with the gift of his work, and my thanks even if I don't win this one.

Best of luck to everyone. :) :cool:

I'm glad you like it Jean :D

I'd like to add my thanks to Michal for making this donation. Having had this sax in my hands I can tell you it's a nice, solid, attractive piece of work. :) The winner will be pleased.

Ah, so nice to give a nod to old-time members - even though I've been lurking for long periods of time. ;)

I love these contests! Thanks to Michal for the donation and thanks to myArmoury for running another cool giveaway!

I want to thank Chad and Nathan. Without their hard work it wouldn't be possible.

My chances are slim, but as the SAS says "who dares wins."

Very generous of you Michal and a very nice piece of work.

As you say, thanks to Nathan and all the moderators for enabling this a fantastic place and resource, but also this is reward for all the contributors for making it a fantastic place a resource

Thanks

Thank you for sponsoring this contest Michal - it looks like a pretty neat piece :D

I just finished reading Chad's review of the piece, and I really like it. Kudos for offering this in a contest.

Hey, only 200 entries so far. That means the odds of winning are pretty good for you guys! Then again, it's only been a few days but I figured I'd bump this up and get more to enter.

Cheers!

I'm with Sander.

As a low-posting "medium timer" here, I was hopeful we could keep this quiet after I registered to win. ;)

In all seriousness; this is a great gesture by Michal, a fine weapon anyone would be proud to own, and yet another reason why myArmoury is a premier forum.
