Alan Longmire Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Lovely! I like all these little Birka-style saxes showing up these days. It's just over 15 years since the first seax rennaissance (driven by this very forum, btw!), maybe a new one is arriving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Lester Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I think that the first wave started about 20 years ago and there's always been someone turning them out. There's a lady at Fay's Forge, coincidentally named Fay, who posts on You Tube. I don't think that I've seen her show a knife that she's made that wasn't a seax. She's really good at carving handles too. Doug HELP...I'm a twenty year old trapped in the body of an old man!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Longmire Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 It never stopped, it just seemed to peak around 2014-2015, with minor resurgences since. Like now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirka Antes Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 Thanks for reactions, I certainly would like to continue in this way, i like the posibility of using and learning various crafts in that style of knives. 1 https://www.facebook.com/Antikovadilna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirka Antes Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 As i promised last time, i am attaching a "brother" of the last presented knife. It is more inspired by northern knives and i have used a birch bark for the first time here. And i have to say it certainly was not for the last time, i think it´s very nice material and i love the scent of it. 10 https://www.facebook.com/Antikovadilna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirka Antes Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Hi, I have a new knife to show. It is small knife with san mai blade and walnut handle. The blade is little bit asymetrical, it is a Jekyll and Hyde sort of blade :D. The sheath has a wooden core and it has some decorating. 5 https://www.facebook.com/Antikovadilna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirka Antes Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 Hi, i just would like to present my last work. it is very simple knife made of wrought and K720.

Pieter-Paul Derks Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 It might be a simple knife but I think it is a really nice one I always love birch bark handles, and that bronze is a great match for it http://mefecit.nl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirka Antes Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hello, i have some new knives which are still in making process. The one on the left is inspired by Orc culture from LOTR ( as i see it) and it belongs to orc pikeman which reminds the pike engraved on the blade. The blade is made of wrought iron and k720 with small silver inlays. Handle is made of copper, deer antler and rawhide. I have to make a sheath in corresponding style. The middle one i waiting for finish and it is made for dwarven traveler as an utility knife. Handle is made of bog oak and there will be some bronze fittings as well. The last one is freestyle puukko with birch bark and reindeer antler handle. I am looking forward to finish them 4 https://www.facebook.com/Antikovadilna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirka Antes Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hi I just finished one knife from the last picture, it is this small puukko with handle made of birch bark and antler. The blade is san mai from wrought iron and k720. Sheath is made of leather and it has a wooden core. I will add it to selling part of the forum too 4 https://www.facebook.com/Antikovadilna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Sexstone Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 That is beautiful attention to detail ….. both the blades and the sheaths separately and when combined …. I agree with you ….A few more pics in progress please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Lester Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The birch bark and carved antler handle really make a statement. Great work. Doug HELP...I'm a twenty year old trapped in the body of an old man!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jirka Antes Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Thank you very much guys. Dick, i would like to make more WIP photos or videos but i still have a huge problem to combine working and taking pictures together . I need to focus on that little bit more and i promise i will make some photos from process And there is another completed knife . I wanted to make something in trapper style for a long time. So I made a knife which (for my fantasy twisted mind) fits for a orc pikeman as an utility knife. I made wrought iron and tool steel blade which has a simple engraving which depicts a spear or pike and has small silver inlays. The handle is made of deer antler, forged copper and rawhide.
