Modern Seax 5/32" 1084 video and early wip

[David Mary]

I was commissioned by a friend to make two large seax knives, and asked if he'd like video footage of them in action before I ship them. He said yes. I had fun. And was almost as blown away as the chips of wood.

That is one beastly chopper. You aren’t even taking full strength swings and it bites in so deep.

Thank you for the kind words. Yes I was very pleased with how this machete turned out. I only wish I had gotten all 45 minutes of footage, but my phone ran out of space.

Some of the seax's journey from materials to proven woods tool, ready to ship, in pictures.

Barely a twinkle in my eye


Getting a handle on things


It's all about balance


Obstacles to overcome


Clear!




Ready to leave the nest

Finally received these two beauties today. David has done it again. His understanding of edge geometry and weight distribution in doing longer blades keeps getting better. These are a joy to hold. Very comfortable handles contoured to really fit my hands. David asked the right questions of how I thought the grips should feel and gave his input of what he could do. He did a really nice job overall.
The video was a blast to watch and I really appreciate the willingness to test the blades and have fun with them. These are sure to make good woods companions. Cant wait to try them out. Thanks again David.!
