The newest blade from Knotwork Forge: A Norse Seax. Based on the Type 4 pattern found in digs at Sittingbourne this blade is hand forged from 1095 steel and sharpened to a perfect edge. The handle is a full tang and fitted with red oak scales that are both glued and pinned for strength and durability. Come see the real thing and our other sharp and shinys at SCA Crown Tourney in Rock Hill SC this Saturday only. Videos of it in action in the comments.

The finished tool, glued and pinned for handle security. Now to make one for my wife!

Busy day at the forge! 6 build your own knife classes in one day! Many plastic water jugs gave the ultimate sacrifice and much fun was had by all.

Another weekend, Another COMMISSION! This one seems simple in theory but in practice has been very challenging. A pyramidal cross-section knife for skinning, I have been enjoying the challenge.
