This seax is a beast and a beauty! I enjoyed the challenge of making this piece. The steel came together well and I had a lot of fun making it. The handle, being the first time doing this type of construction, with the flutes, caused me a lot of problems. I glued my hand to it 3 times and had to use acetone to pull my fingers off of it. I learnt a lot and I look forward to making my next seax.
