I got it in a street market in Istanbul several years ago. It has overall nice fit and finish and It has a very nice feel to it, thanks!desert.snake wrote: ↑Mon Aug 18, 2025 8:25 pmThank you very much!
It seems to be a Turkish garden knife? The beech handle should be quite pleasant to the touch))
Sunfish!!! .... That is not just comfort.... that is happiness to boot!!!
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.

I just scored a Cold Steel Viking axe in a pawn shop about an hour ago, 
... I wish that Sax had been there too! 
And.... much easier to deal with than Zeus when taking knife pictures to post on AAPK....
... I NEED some comfort right about now..... 
Many thanks JP.
With a few good knives and my lazy 'ol dog Zeus, I am hanging in there..... Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Tue Sep 09, 2025 1:11 am 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.
I think this one will make a good paring knife. You are still on my list for a future build, as requested.Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Tue Sep 09, 2025 1:11 am This is the first effort at custom knifemaking, making it a CK.

x10 I've got a bunch of railroad spikes. I'd send them to you if you want something to practice beating on.Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Thu Sep 11, 2025 4:36 pmMany thanks TN Neighbor!
Thanks Zach! I have 4 at the moment my brother in law gave me. We could do some kind of a trade in the future.ThatWeirdKnifeGuy wrote: ↑Thu Sep 11, 2025 5:26 pmI've got a bunch of railroad spikes.
