Finished draw knives.
Turned out really nice, i even got to use my little wood lathe to turn those handles from ashwood branches. Copper tube should prevent cracking the handle. They have really nice feel to them, with "massive forged" look, they are suprisingly light and razor sharp.
They are forged from big bearing.

How far can javelin fly? In this case... 16300km
I sent them to Florida, just like any other blade over the years. After about a week i got an email from customs that "I" as a sender have to pay for customs and duty fee. Parcel was 7600czk (365$), and its import tarif was set at 609$ :D
Customer refused to pay, i did not even get to say if i want it shipped back... So i had to pay 609$ plus 200$ shipping back. Tarif office has 180days to answer to your complaint...nice
I even had to prove to local customs that it is a return, because they were about to charge me for import :D
After half a year, i got it back, rusty with bent handles. And even got some of the money back...after all deducted fees it was just enough for a nice beer... Cheers lads.

Reconstruction of Seax of Beagnoth

Blade is forged from wrought iron and high carbon steel core. Handle is a compromise beween what we thought possible for its period , and customers wishes. Im pretty happy with the way this blade turned out, it really has epic feeling to it. Especialy because of its inlays from silver, copper and brass, by Vojta Světlík BrokksWorks

Dimensions

745mm long
38mm wide
Blade length is 550mm
Weight 780g

Somewhat "machette"

It is forged from spring steel, i did a "fine" grind before hardening, so i could keep that blackened finish. Too bad it is hiding that bevel, which was super visible while shiny.
Scales are from outer layers of bog oak log, thus the lighter colour.
Overall length is...nice "69"cm just stabbed my palm while measuring...
Edge length is 477mm
