This sax feels large. The blade is a little more than 18” in length, the antler handle was chosen well and fits a large hand comfortably. The blade came quite sharp (it was ordered sharp) and its appearance suggests to me that a blade forged 1200 years ago might have looked quite similar. The tang is peened onto the antler. There is also a small brass pin through the antler at about the halfway point of the handle. This pin perhaps has some purpose during assembly, as I cannot suggest a reason for its need in the finished piece.
I also odered this sax with a scabbard. The scabbard is very close fitting, and simple in its design and appearance. It is arranged to hang horizontally from a belt as expected, set up for a left handed draw, also as expected.
Overall I am very happy with it. This is not a highly polished or finished piece, but strikes me as balance of utility and simple beauty. The quality of the work and materials appears to be a good value for the price I paid in US dollars, and I can say with confidence I will buy from Wulflund again in the future.
