Just finished a seax-type knife. Elk jaw handle with chokecherry wood cap and guard, finished with beeswax/pine pitch. Blade is damascus steel, purchased off Etsy. I sort of keep my eye open for good deals on blades like this. Yes, it's very sharp. 🗡️ I really love chokecherry wood; beautiful stuff and really hard and durable. There's no stain on this; that's the natural color.

@WhistlingBadger Did you buy the blade all ready to go or was there some “ Forged In Fire “ stuff you had to do ?

The blade was ready to go. Just had to trim up the tang a little with the dremel to make it fit the cavity in the jaw, and put a good edge on it. I don't do metalwork; it's something I'd like to learn but who has the time?

The elk jaw handle is kind of serial killer-esque . Definitely something you don’t see every day .

Yeah, it's a little too chunky for any kind of fine cutting. Much better for wreaking havoc among one's enemies in a shield wall. :cool:

Finally got a sheath made for this beast. Badger fur, home-tanned elk leather, stitched with Irish linen. Might sell it to help finance spring travels, or might keep to wear with my kilt.

The empty eye holes looked kind of creepy so I glued colorful stones into them. Good thing they don’t look creepy now! :lol:
