How big? How thick? Very barong (I like barongs).

Robert,
Thank you for sharing! I'm not sure the first or third has been seen before? Please consider posting the photos in this thread so they don't disappear. They are too nice to lose knowledge of. Again, thanks very much.
Carl

Lovely angon. I've been very impressed with Peter's work, I might have to have a word.

Very nice! I particularly like the Seax... So many modern reproduction seaxs focus on broken back style, it is nice to see other styles get reproduced.

Good Morning,
Thanks for the comments. This is a reply from the Museum that has it on display:
Hi Robert, we asked the curator of our Medieval Dept. for information. This is what she said:
It is not a dagger, but a short sword with one sharp side, called sword-knife or ‘sax’. The blade is iron, the handle bone. Length: 43,7 cms and width 4,5 cms. It was dragged from the river Meuse near Heerewaarden in The Netherlands and we date it to the period 750-1000, so Carolingian or Ottonian times. Reference number: e 1957/11.1
Hopefully this is the information you were looking for. With kind regards!

Wow! Really nice new toys there Robert! I love that seax. It is cool to see something a little off the beaten path like that seax is. Nice choice!

Hello Matthew,
I think that Peter does a very good job of producing in metal what I send photos of. His prices are fair and turn around is on the order of 7 to 10 days! He is also very easy to work with. I would recommend his work.

Hi Tim,
Since I have had to thin down my sword collection because of the move, I have concentrated on smaller more portable blades. this seax falls into the later period that I am interested in, It does feel right in the hand and has a great "rustic" atmosphere about it.
I can't wait to see what is next on your list.
Robert
