Seax

12" L6 blade. Bone handle with copper.

Sorry for the bad pic. The customer wanted the knife and my Digital camera was on loan.

Looks good to me, a nice plain straightforward Seax with the bone and copper adding nice touches. Did you make a sheath as well?

The bone looks really nice with the copper. Good job! What kind of tang did you use?

A nice example of a "no-frills" seax.
Nice balance for the eye, I suppose it's fun to swing and use.
I love it,


Jan

Thanks for the kind remarks all!

Yes, it has a sheath, I just forgot to put in the picture.

The tang runs about 4/5 of the handle. I thought about peening it but I worried the copper would be to soft for that to hold.
