  • Lovely job on the seax. I was wondering if anyone is doing seax that are not broken back seax. The broken back is, I've been told, from the late medieval period and used by the Anglo Saxons the Germans and the southern parts of Sweden. The "Viking" style seax knife had a slightly different shape.

  • Good job. Although not historically true. After all, sax or long sax were knives made from sword fragments. In particular, the long sax was not made by locksmithing and sawing off half of the blade, but on the contrary - by forging and stretching one edge. Because high-quality steel, such as on swords, was very expensive and rare. And that's why they couldn't afford to simply waste half of the blade. However, you have a good job.

They’ve almost all done a straight edge with a 45, even though all the patterns are stunning.
