It was starting to rain, but I managed to photograph these before they go to their new homes...


From the top, first up is a 'mini-seax' in shear steel and horn with a 3 1/2" blade, about 7 3/8" overall.

In the middle is one of my experiments in wolf's teeth from last fall, made of wrought iron, 1095 edge, and bog oak for the handle, with a 6 1/2" blade, about 12 1/2" overall.

Last up is a patternwelded blade (wrought iron, 1084/15n20 twist, w2 edge) with a walnut burl handle. Blade is about 7 5/8" long, just under 14 inches overall. This one has a bit of an auto-hamon.

Here they are in their sheaths:

Very nice, I hope they found good homes! The rain makes a nice light for the picture.

What is "the experiment in wolf's teeth?" A pattern you found through the wrought iron? Bog oak is nice for the handle. Wicked point also.

Scabbards are all very nice also. Hard to say which seax I would like the best.

These all look very good. They have a very period authentic feel. I think the light really helped create the look!

Very nice and nice avoiding the rust from rain drops. :D :cool:

I like having seax in the rain. As Martha Stewart would say..."It's a good thing!"..... :lol: .....Beautiful work!......McM

Very nice work again George. I especially like the longer one, and the quality of the sheaths you create.

Thank you for the explanation! If you had talked about it before I missed it. I saw some of your work before on SFI so it is nice to locate you here also. You are definitely on my list! The wolf's teeth is a really interesting pattern and it certainly was successful. Nice to see the in-progress photos. I like the bog oak handle a lot as well as I said above, and the sheaths too.
