Hi David
Thanks for the kind words. Petr will be very happy. Let me say he was a real pleasure to work with and kept me informed through the whole project. Patrick Barta has also commented on the workmanship.

David, really enjoy your posts on Vendel culture. Keep up the good work.

Lovely, lovely work by Petr.

I agree, really nice work from Petr! :cool:

Here is my re-enactment combat seax, and as such the blade is a bit rough and worn, but I still like it.

Hello Jerry,
Very nice seax! I really do want an example of Petr's work. I nearly was able to have him hilt an Owen Bush blade of mine, but we just couldn't work out a way that I could send him funds that would work for both of us.

I'm envious, to say the least.

Hello - time to post my seaxes, I think! From smallest to largest:

Fierce Friend done by Ben Potter a few years ago - has served me well many times, and always looks great:

This one has a shear steel blade by Owen bush and rest by Tod's Stuff:

This is a big seax! (15" blade, 23" overall) pattern-welded blade by Owen Bush, rest by Tod. A really amazing piece in person.

The seax is definitely an interesting knife design. Great to see all the others posted here, too!

My favorite thread!
It is interesting to notice that some of these have changed hands over the years.
Well to keep it alive, I can add these 2.
1st by Owen Bush, second by Tinker Pearce.

I also have a langseax somewhere in limbo with Owen, just haven't found out when to exprect it. Soon I hope!
Regards
Robert

Those Owen Bush/Tod seaxes are breathtaking Abe!!

This thread is inspiring! I was already exploring medieval German and 19th c. American/English bowies, and the saxes collected here are adding a new dimension to my appreciation for big knives. One current knife project seems to be a mix of all three types. :D

these saxes look pretty good, and im very surprised the hanwei saxe is even remotely historical,

but one feature of saxes that puzzles me is the fact that the scabbard seems to partly cover the grip im curious as to why that is.

That is one fantastic piece Bruce.

I can see why you are pleased with yourself! I particularly love the scabbard

Altogether lovely

Tod

Not yet mine but hopefully soon it will be, broken back pattern welded seax blade by Paul Binns. When it will be mine, I will get it hilted and make some more pictures of it, but I couldn't wait for it, after all, this will be my first pattern welded piece by a great smith such as Paul, at the moment the only pattern welded blade I own is Hanwei Saxon: (pictures from Paul's website):

Here are some pictures I took of my new Paul Binns seax from my last post. I'm fascinated with this thing, it's beautiful. In a few days it goes to Alojz Krišto for hilting and sharpening.

And to keep this thread alive.

Watch This Space. Coming soon to a forum near you.

Your seax collection has become something of legend Robert! I'm impressed!

I purchased this blade from Chris Makin and am still pondering which style hilt and sheath would fit it best. Its much prettier in person as its made of wraught iron and steel with a really nice grain showing.
