As with all things, you get what you pay for.

The Windlass stuff that KOA sells is usually functional, more or less.

Himalayan Imports has also been known to produce an excellent (though ahistorical) saex type knife on occasion.

That's a nice shot.

But this is a gun forum, so it needs a gun That, and today's "swords" are AR-15s.

It does have the right Angle to it...

I just realized while looking for a reasonable seax knife that I already own one. It's called a Kar98k bayonet.

I'm about 95% certain your particular 98k bayonet has had the point ground down at some point, probably because the tip got broken off. The point appears a little too close to the fuller, and all the K98k bayonets I have ever seen didn't have that much drop to the point. The point was usually in line with the exact middle of the blade, not closer to the edge.

So while yours might make a passable seax, an original one wouldn't look all that close.

Me too.

I didn't find anything that really floated my boat so I just started making one.

Something like this:



Call it a techno saex.






I'll finish it up over the next couple days.
