Dave Budd Seaxy No.2

[scruff]

Finished this off at the weekend.

Updated with better (arty) pics!

Masur birch with leather liners (not bevelled in this time), mosaic pins and traditional(ish) sheath ie. edge upwards. Handle only had a couple of hours in boiled linseed.

OAL 192mm
Cutting edge 85mm

I made myself do a thinner handle than my last Budd blade and I'm glad I did, it sits very well in my hand.

I tried to antique / distress the sheath make it look lived in. Also marked a a few basic Triskele (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskele) into the sheath for subtle decoration.

As always comments & critiques very welcome.

Thanks for looking
