Iron wolf seax/ bush blade WIP

A central place to talk about weapons and armour, as it relates to your kit. This is where you show it of or talk about making it. Discussing the relative merits of types of weapons goes in the WMA section.

Iron wolf seax/ bush blade WIP

Post by R.D.Metcalf »

My anvil is gone,but my love of blades is not. I have in the hot box a 2"wide 1/4" thick peice of 1075 I just got the tang drawn when I ran out of charcoal so when that chore is done, I'll finish the blade on my trusty rail road track. You can see my inspiration here: http://www.myarmoury.com/view.html?feat ... seax01.jpg

second one down....and no!! smart alecks!! it aint goin' to look " just like that" :lol: She'll be purdy :mrgreen:

Posting pics from my machine is like pulling teeth, but I will get a few up in a bit..

This peice has taken a life of its own, I still have to forge the edge bevels but the peice is profiled, the blade is 19" long.... Once shes fitted,gripped, and scabbarded we will do a photo series.


My progress pics will not upload for some reason...I keep having to log back in :x

How did this one come out RD?
I would love to see what it looked like hilted, and what you did for your sheath!
