Description
. This blade is a 4 bar construction. First there is a layer of vintage wrought iron at the spine and then 2 bars of twisted patternweld. Finally there is an edge of High layer damascus steel. The blade has been ground to a deep depth on both sides of the blade giving a distinctive x pattern to the twiste. This blade is made using the same techniques that are used in the making of legendary Saxon and Viking swords.
Broken back seax blades have a very distinctive and stylised geometry, where the blade is thicker at the broken back and tapers towards the tip and back towards the handle. The Anglo Saxon broken back seax is the iconic tool and weapon of the Saxon. And found almost exclusively in the UK. Historically the blades have lots of subtle differences in profile but often share communality with the broken back part of the blade being the thickest.
