forged every day carry finished
KHalverson:
been a while since I made a knife for myself.
so I decided I would try and forge an interpretation of a knife from my home land.
the seax.
a scaled down version for every day at home carry.
forged from a Nicholson file.
8 inches over all 3.5 inch blade hammered fingered guard.
1st photo is as forged with cut off from file.
2nd photo is profiled after heat treat and temper.
bubby:
Looking good
osage outlaw:
Very nice. What are the holes in the handle for, to help the epoxy hold better? It doesn't look like they are all the way through. I've drilled holes in mine to lighten them up.
PaulN/KS:
Very seax-y... ;D

yes,
