Seax knife reconstruction.MOV

Uploaded by Fargbollen on Nov 18, 2011
This is a reconstruction of seax knife #248 in the book "Die Saxe von Valsgärde" which even today is the definig work on the Seax knives and swords found in the Valsgärde mounds at old Uppsala, Sweden. This particular seax is from Halvberg in Brandenburg, not Sweden and is in the book as a comparison exampe to central europeean finds of the same type and timeline. Why I choose that one is because the material I had at hand wasn't enough to make the larger knives, which are as big as swords. The blade in the video is no finished and needs to have the dual grooves seen in the photo from the book added along the upper sides. Then I'll polish it more, fit a handle and make a suitable sceath for it. It probably had a Frankish style sceath but being a swede myself, and there being a lot more details from a large number of finds over here I'll make a scandinavian scabbard and fittings for it. No one knows exactly how the fittings or handle looked like anyway, only the blade remains today.

@kingolaf99 Yeah,I know the feeling. I've had lots of half-finished projects over the years, comes with the territory . This one will get done though, I've actually added fullers and a mirror polish to the blade and I'm working on the handle right now. I should probably make another video showing the progress and the plans for the sceath.

Looks good! I hope you finish it soon. Most of my projects get started, but seldom finished haha.

This is a knife made from a file that was ground smooth, then forged out a bit, then ground to shape, rough polished .
The rainbow coloring of the blade is from annealing the back and tang and will be polished off before it's finished.
