Sold-
I completely forgot to update.
A broken back seax of the needlepoint pattern.
Blade is made from 3/16ths inch carbon steel, from an antique circular saw blade.
The pitting has been left on the spine to give it a handmade look.
The rest is rough mirror polished and razor sharp.
"Architectural bronze" fittings. (A hard, yellow brass.) Walnut grip sealed with period styled beeswax/paraffin mixture, rubbed in hot by hand.
Blade is almost exactly 9 inches long, 13 3/4 inch overall.
Based on several relic seax blades I have pics of from museum collections.
Opening bid is $75.
Buy it now option for $95.
Buy it now goes away after the first bid.
Shipping will be $15 to US addresses, but I need to know the country of origin for overseas buyers so I can get you a shipping quote.
We'll run this one till saturday the 15th.
(I need money to mail stuff and buy replacement supplies to make more knives.)
Payment by paypal, and you must contact me within 3 days of end of auction.
I cannot offer a sheath option until I buy more leather.
Thanks for looking.
