However, this one is modernized. I was looking at a picture of the broken back seax from the. Sittingbourne Museum in England and thought it would (of course) make a good pattern for a combat/utility knife. This knife is a beast. A wide and strong but lively blade.
There is no swedge because the point is acute enough without it. This creates a very strong triangular tip. Differentially hardened carbon steel and will stand up to anything you can throw at it. These knives are made for hard use. I make the blades the handles and the sheaths myself. They are carbon steel and thus, will stain and need to be oiled and maintained.However, they will hold an edge better than most types of stainless steel. I make the blades one or two at a time, hand-grind and carefully temper them. This knife, like all my knives, comes with a cowhide sheath that is stitched by hand with a true saddle stitch. These are old-school, tough-as-nails knives.
