Knife day! done with attempt #1
Last we left off, I had finished tooling the sheath and molded it into its final shape. Next step was to dye it black:
Applied contact cement all around the edges:
Waited 15 minutes for it to dry, then pressed them together, and gave it another pass with the burnishing rod to get everything shaped right and welded as firmly as possible:
Used a wing divider to trace out a line about 3/8″ from the edge of the blade:
You can see that this pattern should have been given more allowance at the tip, because the curve of the sheath can’t follow the curve of the tooling. (And it should cover more of the knife handle -- when I make this again, I’m going to make it .25″ longer at the tip, and 1.25″ longer at the handle.)
Cut off the excess:
I used an edge beveler to round off the edges, but it was embarrassingly in need of a sharpening, so it didn’t make a very smooth cut. 😅
Hit it with progressively finer grits of sandpaper (100; 225; 500), until the edge was smooth:
Then dyed the edge again, burnished the edge with Tokonole (though you could use gum trag, or saddle soap, or whatever you like), gave it a clear topcoat of resolene, and set rivets at 1″ intervals along the edge:
(Two of those rivets haven’t actually been set yet, because I’m still undecided on how I want to attach the hanging straps.)
SO! POST-GAME ANALYSIS
I’m much happier with this one than I was with the first attempt at a seax sheath. My only real issue is that it’s too short at both ends (the handle end in particular just looks WOEFULLY truncated to my eyes 😖), but it’s not something I’d be embarrassed to sell, so it’ll go on the table next time I’m vending.
If aliexpress is still selling this particular knife, I think I’ll buy a half-dozen more, so that I can reuse the same pattern to make more such sheaths -- but even if they’re not, this has given me a better sense for how to lay out the designs on a flat pattern, such that they’ll fit a seax sheath once it’s been all folded into shape.
(Hah, maybe I’ll try patterning a sheath for the smaller seax I’ve got, no trial and error, just seeing whether it works.)
I am still somewhat stymied by how to attach the points for hanging. 🤔 Little metal attachments exist that would be perfect -- if I had any, and/or knew what they’re called so I could search for them on aliexpress. Some people have riveted the leather loops directly to the sheath, but that adds comparatively a lot of bulk at those rivets, which I’m not a fan of.
Prolly going to poke around on aliexpress, buy more knives, and see if I can find the hardware I want.
Until next time. 👍👍

Knife handle! Oak, brass and antler. The blade is from Northern Traders ES. Made with a belt sander, wiped with flax oil. It is epoxied on instead of a more traditional method, but I'm alright with it. This is for my Viking friend Eyvor.

Lord of Battles – Viking Karl Seax
This Viking Seax is a fine size for an everyday utility tool for chores, crafting and self defense. It can be slung from the belt comfortably both within and outside the Viking homestead to ensure that a practical cutting blade (or a fighting dagger for self defense) – is always close at hand. The blade is forged from high carbon steel and the grip is carved and smoothly polished wood which is surmounted with a brass bolster and pommel cap. An integrated eyelet in the pommel cap allows for you to utilize it as a practical lanyard anchoring point.
The seax is matched with a historically-styled sheath which is crafted from thick and high quality leather with robust brass riveted construction and embellishment. A belt loop fitted to a swiveling hanging ring allows for the seax to be easily worn on the belt.

Are you still doing that viking time travel au?
Part One: Bodies
One: You are Here.
Two: Here.
Author's Note: I am! So there's science I kind of completely bullshit because I just kind of stole the language from some studies I'm familiar with and probably a very shitty replica of how the British actually store archaeological material but I got so caught up in details I couldn't get it finished so it's thoroughly bullshit! The burial is based on the Repton Warrior, adjusted for fictional use ofc.
Archival Description of Burial A452 and A453 of Red Sail Hall Site
School of Archaeology - University of Oxford
Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art
Though further exploration into the site is certainly precluded by the sealing of the original site by the private owners, the four-month trial period of archaeological work on property associated with Red Sail Hall has proven themselves to be incredibly fruitful. Please review the following in-situ finds of particular significance. Of a group of 34 burials immediately south of the gardens of Red Sail Hall, the burial of an adolescent male, an extraordinary 187 centimeters is of special note. In an abutting grave was a second male inhumation, was found that of a child perhaps aged 12 standing at 134 centimeters.
The elder male was a person of obvious importance, apparently having met his end in battle or some other violent means. Likely incapacitated by a blow to the head as suggested by lacerations to the skull, the elder was then dispatched by sword cut. When measured, the damage to the vertebrae suggests the femoral artery would have most certainly been severed. The burial is in truly pagan fashion. On a silver ring around his neck was a silver Thor’s hammer between two red glass beads. A leather belt around the waist had been secured with a belt and bronze buckle with a fleece lined iron scabbard with an impressive tri-bloom pommel in classic Norse fashion. By the sword hilt there was a folding iron knife, a fixed knife with a wooden handle and halfway down the thigh was found three iron keys.
The skeleton in the abutting grave was tentatively Christian and of much poorer origin. A lead figure on a leather cord around the neck suggests Anglo-Saxon Christianity. An iron seax at the waist was of Cumbrian origin but the iron fittings of a leather quiver with bow and arrows inside found deposited at the left hand were of clearly Welsh origin. No other grave goods were found, but pollen deposites would suggest the presence of Michaelmas Daisies and Autumnal Crocus, suggesting a harvest-time burial.
Would recommend both graves for sampling and dental isotope analysis. Low-humidity storage recommended.

Oxygen Isotopes Conclusive Report of Paired Samples A452 and A453
Red Sail Hall Sample A452
Based on a framework of radiocarbon dates, the studied inhumation grave of Red Sail Hall Sample A452 upon analysis of radiocarbon determination and isotope ratio mass spectroscopy reveal an observed dietary variation of game protein intake with high amounts cereal grains primarily wheat. Noted markers of deprivation at aged 15-16 are seen. This finding is consistent with an origin of the Danish mainland of the 150-50 BCE.
Red Sail HAll Sample 453
Sample of nebulous value. Sample noted to be from a child with pre-adolescent degrading of sample in-situ. Whilst there is no clear pattern of isotopic offsets between skeletal elements, the sole first molar analyzed shows a high degree of isotopic enrichment for both δ13C and δ15N. As the first molar forms during infancy, a conclusion of high status, high protein diet can be drawn. The second sample however, suggests marked poverty and high cereal and plant based diet. This finding is consistent with an incongruous origin of the samples labeling suggesting instead the British Isles, most likely Cumbria, 1st Century CE
Conclusion signed and certified by Aroha Kaipo, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Isometric Laboratory, New Zealand.
Red Sail Hall, 21st Century
“I’m not entertaining the possibility because it’s not possible.” Arthur snapped, pacing about the kitchen. Rhys dragged his hand down his face.
“How many times do we have to go over this? Zee did the results herself!”
“Once more, I bloody suppose because I am standing right here!”
“I’m not saying I know how, I’m just saying its you. And Magnus.”
“It’s horse shit!”
“Arthur!” Rhys pressed him into a chair by the shoulders. He was practically vibrating with agitation. His leg started bouncing.
“I am not a figment of my own imagination! I’m just here!”
“Yes, you are.”
“They can’t have drug up my corpse from the back garden when I am standing right here!”
“And yet they have.”
