Elk-handled seax by Tobin Nieto

My buddy Tobin Nieto (Forged in Fire champion!) is working on a limited run of Viking seaxes with the YouTube channel Forged in Fire.  They did a video on the process of building the seax (part of which was filmed at my shop) and have an upcoming performance test video as well.  Check it out!

    This is a cool-looking knife, this is what I want to say first. I like it a lot. But, to be a bit nitpicky, it´s not necessarily a Viking seax. Typically the seax had not this offset ricasso part. You might want to look here for a seax typology:

    Please note, I really like this knife, and it would make a great accessory for frontiersman re-enactment or even a fantasy accessory... I´m just trying to be helpful... :-)
