Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Vanagandr: It's still in progress (just a pic he sent me this morning from the forge) - ultimately, the edge should be flat (though some seax designs I've seen have a very slight curvature just towards the tip). If you mean on the flat of the blade, I've seen various designs with fullering or even raised lines in the midsection (this one is going to be thicker towards the middle). My smith and I drafted the design up a few years back as something of a thought/alt-history experiment along the lines of "if Jim Bowie had made a seax, what would it look like", and I liked what we came up with enough to commission it. I may be giving a poor description of my end goal, but I'll show you when I've got the final product. Seax actually just means "knife." The shape that we're all thinking of is based on a certain style, but it's not definitive. Interesting side note: the people known as "Saxons" are named after the word seax. |

Is there something living in there? We have these wrens that will stuff sticks into all of them without actually using them, just to keep anyone else from being able to (like the bluebirds we put them out for). They are native, so you can't mess with the birds, but did I mention that wrens are fucking assholes? They sound like assholes, get into all your shit, tear up plants etc.. Did I mention in addition they get in the house. As an example, one was napping on a wreath on the door, and when I opened it he was now inside. Took an hour to chase him out. That was one of three times now. We clean out the sticks and hope someone else will get a chance. |
