The seax was the ubiquitous knife used by Viking Age people for many centuries. They came in many styles and shapes, and some were decorated with pattern welding and precious metals. In this course students will create pattern welded material, plan and forge their own 6-8" multi bar seax based on historical examples. We’ll forge weld disparate materials to form the blades and then forge, grind, heat treat, and polish before finishing them with handles made from horn or antler and wood. This is a fast paced class where previous forge welding and knife making experience is crucial.
