This large seax was hand forged from a single piece of high carbon 1080 steel. Hammered at the anvil with traditional techniques not ground into shape or made with any type of stock removal. The handle is gently curved to fit the hand and twisted for a better grip with an integral forged finger guard.
Once forged, hardened and heat treated the blade was sharpened with a grindstone to a keen edge. Measuring 12" from tip to tip this seax has a 7" sharpened blade and weighs in at just shy of 8oz.
Strong, light and functional this knife would make a great 6th (iron) or 11th (steel) anniversary gift and be perfect for everyday use.
