Some of what I've been up to lately...
Blade made of 2 opposing twists of 1084 and 203e, framed with 203e, framed with W1, 7 5/16" long, 1 5/16" wide, .29" thick. Handle is 5400 year old bog oak, sheath is leather with bronze fittings and brass rivets and rings. Overall length is 13 7/16".
Not based on any particular original, but hopefully captures the spirit of the originals.
Not sure what to say about this one, someone wanted a stag-handled pattern-welded hunter on short notice, and this is the result. Steel is 11 layers of 1084 and 15n20, blade is 5 inches long, 7/8" wide, and .15" thick... 9 5/8" overall.
A pattern-welded pair of seax in maple... overall lengths are 14 3/8 and 7 1/2 inches.
A Persian kard, with briar and turkish pattern steel.
And a budget utility/hunter, 1084 and English walnut....
