The joy of saex

[JM]

Not sure it is still bushcraft, but I can dig some article on the mongol invasion. Japanese weaponry changed right after it, which is a sign it not only a question of numbers (and weather ;-) ).

I came across a link (bottom) for a place that sells saexes from £16ish. Someone that's after buying one and knows their stuff, could ask them about their "sprung steel" and find out if these things are practical tools styled after along saxon lines, or something else. Incidentally, the first link has a load of links for historical re-enactment, provided the lower link. There's all sorts of medieval jewellry, shoes, and other stuff there that people might be interested in.
