Nice... some of those seaxes were definitely hollow ground along the spine.

Thanks. That wire wrap is a nice touch.

The wire wrap, if not originally traditional, is becoming almost traditional on modern seaxes. I like it.

Yeah, It definitely adds some visual interest to the grip/blade junction. This one isn't strictly traditional, I think it's a bit lighter and thinner than many originals Makes it an outstanding cutter!

Is the handle split top & bottom, with the wire cinching it down on the tang?
Looks mighty fine! |

Thanks Jeff!
It's not split... the wire's there for aesthetics, mostly. It does help gripping it, somewhat, though. I did think about tdoing it that way, but I wasn't happy with the way it looked with wire top and bottom... Made it lok kind of prissy, if ya know what I mean. |

Did anyone ever come up with any evidence that the wire cinched the handles or was it pure collective intuition? I like it as a practical theory regardless...
