peter johnsson Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Jesus, that is very fine work! I am very happy to see how this long knife has gotten a new life through your caring hands. It is a glorious piece and your ambition to make it something complete from material choice through form and design to embellishment is really inspiring. I will get a DVD! I wonder how a late roman spatha would look if you made it? It would come out as a treasure, I guess. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Longmire Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I realized in the middle of the night I had not told you to send me a picture of yourself so I could light your beard, but I think you did a better job on that than I could have! Much like this seax... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stéphane A. Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Absolutely stunning ! I lack the words to express my admiration. Like others said it is a well deserved flaming dubbing.

Jesus Hernandez Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Thanks, guys. I really appreciate all the wonderful feedback. Peter, I am not sure about a spatha but I have something in mind that came from the same continent and the Mediterranean water washed its shores too. Enjoy life!

Niels Provos Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 That looks wonderful. Well done. Your seax is really inspiring. My own experience with twisting bloom material has mostly been on the frustrating side so far. but this will keep me going :-) Niels.

Lee Sauder Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Whoa! It's not a win/lose thing, it's just a friendly excercise to allow two friends to explore each other's preferred style of bladesmithing. Admittedly, with Jesus being Spanish he's probably got a bit of ancient Visigoth genes that allow him to feel the seax the way I do. Lee, when (not if!) my tanto/wakizashi/whatever it ends up being does not ring as true to the spirit of the required object as Jesus' seax does, I will not lose my beard. I will just be grateful for the friendship that led to such an opportunity to expand my limited horizons. Not that I'm gonna go down easy, mind you. Remember, I have up to three years! Hi Alan- Hope I didn't get you worked up, I was just joking- guess I should have used a winky emoticon or something. Cheers- Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEzell Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The use of texture and patina in this piece is wonderful, and the blade... man what a blade! Everything comes together beautifully. I'm glad to see some tooling marks left here and there, it adds to the authenticity of it without taking away from the high level of craftsmanship displayed. George Ezell, bladesmith" How much useful knowledge is lost by the scattered forms in which it is ushered to the world! How many solitary students spend half their lives in making discoveries which had been perfected a century before their time, for want of a condensed exhibition of what is known."Buffonview some of my work RelicForge on facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have long since wanted to do a project like that, maybe this will be the inspiration I need to finally find the time. Oh and I will certainly order the DVD.
