Title: Pointy, Sticky, Bowie/Seax
Post by: Lamey on October 09, 2012, 07:51:00 PM

Forged this blade many years ago, found it in a "moving" box, finished it up today. Low/keen point "Bowie" with alot of Seax influence...so maybe its a Bowieax? Any how its W2 with some Black Walnut. Blade is just over 9", overall 14".

thanks fellas, I used to make a bunch with the real low tip like this, had a guy from Sweden tell me that its similar to a knife they used to call the Scramasax. This one is headed to California.

That is a VERY handsome piece, Matt. Something about that package begs to be used. I really like the sanding job and the dynamic hamon. :thumbsup:
