It seems to be a Turkish garden knife? The beech handle should be quite pleasant to the touch))

ZTWKG, that is about as awesome as it getsThatWeirdKnifeGuy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 18, 2025 11:31 pm I got this seax in a trade with a friend. He bought it in a smith's shop in Denmark. It's heavy, could chop some wood for sure. The wood on the handle is stunning. I tried to capture all the character but I've got mediocre lighting in my basement. I just keep it down here by me. In case I need to do some raiding and or pillaging.

Re: Comfort Knives!
Zeus has become a big pain in the rear lately, so I have acquired a lower maintenance version of him that should be a lot easier to deal with on a day to day basis.
And.... much easier to deal with than Zeus when taking knife pictures to post on AAPK....

Re: Comfort Knives!
This is the first effort at custom knifemaking, making it a CK. It is a 6 1/2" stock removal knife in mystery steel I picked up. A 55 file skates, and a 60 barely scratches. The handles are walnut from a tree Hurricane Helene brought down last year. Last step is to put an edge on it.

2 of those on your first attempt.
I like the choil and shoulder grind area. Looks clean and functional.
That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend.

Great first effort in knife making Tony, if you'd told me it was the 10th you'd made I'd still be impressed.
