Seax pic
I was hoping to have this done to enter into the SITH. As usual I was way behind schedule.
Still not finished, but it's close.  The peened ring is an old copper penny. I put it in a little proud of the bolster and peened it after I peened the butt cap. Tightened everything up rock solid. __________________ "Many are chosen, but few are Pict" "The doer alone, learneth" NT Neo-Devo

Nice work Roc. Would have loved to have you in there.
If you like I can keep you in mind for an alternate in case someone is a no show.

That is a great idea. I will hold it for awhile. If it is not needed I plan to send it to a fellow forumite who did not receive his knife in an old outpost KITH. I told him it would be a surprise and just would show up someday. I had asked him where he got his copper, so he just sent me a bunch. The people here are fantastic! The bolster is of a piece he sent me.
Alan you are welcome to the idea my friend. Thanks for all you have shared with the group. __________________ "Many are chosen, but few are Pict" "The doer alone, learneth" NT Neo-Devo

Well, I am not totally sure. It has been so long, I forget who gets tied up.
 As the definition of seax is as many and varied as the people you ask. My interpretation of the meaning at this time for Scramaseax is "eating knife" or "wounding knife" Because I do more eating than wounding these days, I like the small utility type blades that might have been carried by the average person of the time. Looking at many pic of dug blades I desided, me being the self appointed desider and all, that I would do this one in the spearpoint style which I had seen examples of. In my minds eye I see a paring knife, or in the most base or basic term, a potato peeler. As for handle construction. I have a thing for thru tang peened rat tails. I don't think this one will end up in the Smithsonian as a strict example of the period, so I can take #######.  The drawing below is one of my favorites. In it I can see the influence these ancient patterns have on many of our modern knives.

Very cool brother! I've always liked your style with blades. Simple designs and great lines!

I like it.It is a seax but most think of a sharp drop point when they think seax.The use of the penny was a nice touch.
