A set of long seax and a smaller puuko-type knife. The long blade is 19 1/2", and is a cold-ground leaf spring. It has a copper inlay- salvaged wire! The inlay is a line and a trinity of trinities... The sheath is leather "dyed" black with vinegaroon, and the copper and brass pieces were from bits lying about the shop. The knife is 3" in the blade, and the sheath is essentially the same. See the new pic with the same leather, but a different shape, and re-done mostly in brass.

FFFFF- I want a Puuko for my birthday... And one of these.

Good for skinning game.

One of the simplest and best knife designs ever. I am making several in the next few weeks for a couple of gifts and some to sell (hopefully~).

The seax is a great camp-knife or machete, not as good for dressing out game- but a great weapon and wood splitter.

HURRAY FOR VENTURE CAPITALISM! :iconyeahplz:

And I meant the puuko is good for skinning game. Ahaha, sorry I didn't elaborate this further.

Not sure if it qualifies as "venture capitalism" or not. Not a lot of $$ to venture, really!

But yeah- making knives has been good to me, and fun, to boot!

Have you even looked at ragweedforge.com before (Ragnar's ragweed Forge~). He sells a lot of different knives. Look in his store at the "Wood Jewel" knives. I have the double pukko-leiku set. It's simply gorgeous and amazing- and a GREAT price for the quality of tool, too.

Thank you! I'm very pleased so far- Viking knives are so different, stylistically than what I've done before, so it's a new learning experience.

I only just looked out your other stuff.
Great work.
Yes, regarding Viking stuff you really can run riot on decoration :D

Yeah- in a simple, and easy to do manner, too. I'm making the tools to do it better- more chisels and some different shapes.
