It is finished at last!
My seax is based loosly on north european bogfinds from late roman times and early dark age...
I have grinded out the blade by hand (and a little help of mashines) and made all the furnitures with a small axe and a small knife mady by my sister... Yepp I like it the hard way!
and here is the pics...

Very nice, i love it.
The blade looks vicious.

How did you fasten the handle to the tang? Burning? Glue/resin???
Very nice job!!
I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender.

With resin... it´s made prety much like a scabbard but with the tang curved it sitts there nice and snug.
