Mark,
The blades I have shown so far.....
The first is a14 inch 6 bar with wolfs tooth narrow seax blade and is sold ...similar would cost in the region of £500 to 600 (Bare Blade) I will be showing another couple of slightly simpler versions of this blade ........

The second is an 8 inch 6 bar with wolfs tooth broken back seax it is for sale .this is some of the nicest steel I have made so far the price reflects this.
Price is £350 for the bare blade.......

the 3rd is an 9 inch 7 bar broken back seax....price for the bare blade would be £240 .

I am happy to handle up any of the blades or sell them bare or send them to the craftsman of your choice to handle....

I have a few more pieces in this series coming up .....
another broken back , smaller and it will be cheaper. possibly a longer narrow seax but Ive' not scraped it back to check the welds yet
another couple of narrow seax (as mentioned ) and a very large lecu esk blade which I shall certainly finish myself as it is going to be a "reality merging into legend " kind of blade.

Worth every penny but beyond my budget at present i'm afraid Owen. Really nice work ( as always ) especially the first one. That is a real stunner and just my cup of tea.

I would love to see something similar in plain ( relatively ) wrought iron with a steel edge.......

Now they are nothing short of ....I have run out of words....

All three of those are beautiful in form and function Owen. If you have not put the two together it is Roots off BB by the way, hope you got my email.

I would dearly love to own any one of those three.

Hi Owen,
Really loving these fine examples of your art. I especially like the sneaky peak of the first one, very reminiscent of my Seax, from Greg, very similar patterning. So gets a big thumbs up. I also really like the three on the orange coloured background, I really like these types of seax blade, not particularly a huge fan of the Broken back type. However your execution of all of these blades just keeps getting better and better.

Bruce
