Anglo Saxon Seax
A design based on several pulled from the Thames, dated to about the 10th century.
The blade is 12" with a W1 edge and 1095 and 15n20 cores, and the handle is water buffalo horn with mastodon bone and silver spacers, a steel pommel with a mastodon bone buttcap and silver pins.
Seax
A continental style from around the 7th century with a two bar alternating twist of 1018/1095 for the spine, W1 for the edge, and cocobolo for the handle with elk tine for the buttcap and a silver wire wrap ferrule. The blade is 14.5", and a good 14" at the base with plenty of distal taper. This is an imposing piece with a good amount of blade presence, but not so much as to be unwieldy; the tang is nearly the full width of the blade.
