bog oak seaxes

2 seaxes with bog oak handles, one patternwelded, one W2. They were supposed to match, but they are slightly different in shape. The blades are 4 1/2" long, overall lengths 9 1/4". The W2 blade developed a pretty neat hardening line even though I fully quenched it... a strip along the spine hardened, I love this steel... the patternwelded blade has a wrought spine, 1084/15n20 twist, and the last of my 1095 for the edge. The sheath fittings are hammered brass with copper rivets, and didn't photograph well...

Thanks for looking.

Very nice. I like the combining of the short seax with the broken back style.
