These are beautiful! I do not yet have a seax but these inspires me to make my own. I especial like the small ones that can be used as normal camping knives as well as for reenactment.

Hello Viktor,
Thanks for your kind words. I only have a scabbard for the medium seax from the unknown maker., and of course the langsax. I have spots for two to be made, but will still have to find the cash to get the rest at a later date.
Regards
Robert

After seeing some excellent blades, I feel reluctant to show mine:
I made this "seax" several years ago. Originally, it was a spear-head, which was never completed and instead that - turned into a knife. Strictly speaking, now its outline and method of construction are closer to the traditional Bulgarian shepard's knife than to the seax, but it serves me quite well during our re-enactment events.
BTW, I think the scabbard is better done than the knife.
Curently, my eye is caught by these two well-known beauties
Seax of Beagnoth / Thames scramasax (Picture - Wikipedia)
Broken-back seax from Sittingbourne - Kent (Picture - Wikipedia)
and I plan to make one of them someday (without the runic inscriptions and with smaller dimensions)

I LOVE seaxes and scramasaxes, and quite frankly have too many to post! But here is one of my favorites, made by ML Knives out of New York. Made this for me several years ago. Grip is walnut, steel fittings, and SHARP! The dagger is there to add perspective...

It's somewhat historical. It's partly based on a historical example, the middle in the attached pic (my assumption only). Hanwei's version was closer to the original.

Thats a lovely interpretation of the Ford Laverstock seax by Petr, Jerry....and I think the bead addition is a very nice touch too.Petr makes some very nice quality reconstructions and free style work. Congratulations.
