Another bushseax

[Snufkin]

Testing out a new bushseax today, 3mm 01 tool steel, 4 3/4" blade with laburnum scales and black fibre liners. It's a bit different from the usual bushcrafters out there but I'm really liking it so far (no pics of the sheath as it's ugly as sin, did something different with it and dipped it in hot beeswax, I think I'll use this method again).

I'm not a professional maker, I only make knives to experiment with designs and just like to post them up here to share ideas. Many thanks to the people who have enquired after purchasing one though, I'm very flattered.

Cheers mate. I agree on the wood and considering it was firewood, very reasonably priced .

i like that, it's similar to a design i was working on for a neck knife.

i really need to get access to a workshop. all these designs and nowhere to make them

You really don't need alot of room. I do all the shaping at my Workmate, and my forge for heating up the blades consists of 6 firebricks from a night storage heater and a hot air paintstripping gu-n set up in the back garden.

Yes, But it is a bit short for lopping heads of Gorgons and such

It's not too short, you just have to stand closer .

Lovely bit of work. Dark Age gear makes a nice change from all the Ray/Mountain man clones about.

I quite fancy a nice Langseax to show off to the kukri/parang crowd
