I'm taking a small break from the viking stuff and finishing up some chefs knives as a palate cleanser! Stabilized birch burl and brass tubular rivets.

Two Scandinavian style seaxes!

I have been working on these two seaxes for a long time and I'm very proud they are finally finished! These seaxes are inspired of the long war knives found on Gotland and Birka. Both knives was ordered by the same client and was going to be different but in the same style.

Gotland style war knife with some fantastic laminated blades from George Ezell. Bronze fittings on cuir bouilli vegetable tanned leather with simple incised patterns. Bronze rivets. Step shaped filings with a tinned bronze underlay, vertical bands around the upper part. Sheath is treated with beeswax and beech tar. One three point and one two point suspension.

Handles in some great looking birch and elk horn with bronze draw ring and bolster.

I hope you like them as much as me!

Tarsoly from Björkö grave Bj 93B

Just finished these tarsolies for a customer in the US!

Both bags in full grain veg tanned leather, hand sewn with linen thread. Bj93b has a inner pouch in diamond twill wool with a simple draw string and a riveted strap mount bridge. The mounts for the lids and straps are polished cast bronze.
