Small seax blade wanted

[Heathenpeddler]

Hi, I'm after a small seax-style blade, does anyone know where I can get something like this? I don't want a large blade on it, something fairly thin in cross-section and about 2" cutting length. I have a Mora carver that's around 3" (THIS ONE ) and while I love it and am thinking of rehandling it sometime, it's too long for what I want - pointwork.

I want it to be a seax-style basically because I'm a heathen any ideas where I can get something like this, or cost if there's anyone fancies making a blade for me?

Try this guy. I saw some of his blades and knives today at a medieval market in Norwich, really nice stuff.

Blade length not more than 2", width about 1/2", cutting edge straight. I'd like to handle it myself that part I know I can do, it's the forging etc I can't

No hurry really What would you like for it? It'll be for carving runes and decoration on drinking horns, BTW

Seeing as we are both heathen I think a mention at your next blot will do me. Have you got a sketch or an example ?or do ya just want me to go for it?
