This started as a billet end that looked just big enough to forge something out of... one should never let good steel go to waste.




The blade is 1084/15n20 twist, wrought iron, and a W1 edge, 2 5/8" long. The handle is some very nice boxwood I traded for last year, sheath has bronze fittings with brass rivets and rings. Overall length is exactly 6 inches. This is about as small as I can make a seax...

I'm asking $175 for this one.

Can you show me a photo of how that seax looks like when handled for comparison?

Now I see it. Thanks for that. ;)

This one has been setting around too long, I'm dropping the price to $150.

A seax this size is quite expensive. :eek:

Shahril, haven't we been here before with the sword ? You may think it is expensive, but there are plenty of others (me included) that feel this is a very reasonable price indeed for this piece.

There are plenty of aspects of this piece to comment on whether you like it or not, the maker will find the comments useful, however just to comment on the price is a rather pointless thing to do and gains none of us anything.

$175.00 for that? A bargain.

Oh yes, this is a great price for this seax!

I am wondering if inscribed runes would be historically appropriate for this type of seax. I am not sure that I have seen non-inlaid lettering on sexes.

This really is a super-cool little knife.

I like this a lot. Reminds me of medieval illustrations of pen-knives being used in calligraphy and what not, although it's obviously a pre-medieval design, but it's more 'timeless' than that so good work :)

This one is sold, and on it's way to it's new home...:)
