Einar Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I got a 2x72" belt grinder for christmas!!! (Ok, so it was from myself, to myself, but still...) A Pheer 427 with 2 horsepower and variable speed. So much nicer to use than an angle grinder when grinding blades. Got a flat platen, 10 inch contact wheel and small wheel holder as well. And here is the first fruit of the Pheers loins, a small seax, 15 cm blade (about 6 inch) 11 cm handle (about 4.5 inch) 5 mm 1060 steel. Leather over birch handle. Constructive critisism and/or flaming is welcomed and appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeppe Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Not a typical blade shape, but I like it. Looks similar to some finds from Haithabu (the type 7) ('typ' is type and 'anzahl' is number of finds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEzell Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I love it... very clean, aggressive shape, and the leather covered handle works well with it.

Einar Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 I love it... very clean, aggressive shape, and the leather covered handle works well with it. Thank you. I like the ones with a steep "kentish notch" though mine might be a bit exaggerated. I just checked your page and wow, you have a lot of beautiful blades. Inspirational.

Einar Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Awesome! 2x72s are awesome, eh? haha nice job man. Now you just need a forge and an anvil. Oh its wonderful. It was pricey, but I havent regretted it for a second. I do have a forge but I use it mostly for heat treating. I will do more forging once I get a proper anvil. The one I have now is really old and not even close to straight. It sags in the middle and the corners are hanging. I've done a bit of forging on it, but its annoying to use, at least for a beginner like me. Love the Pratchett quote by the way Big fan.
