Contact prior to ordering is mandatory. All conversations, information, and payment will be carried out through "AND ONLY THROUGH" this site. This is a special-order option for any of my hammer finish type seax's unless stated otherwise. with this listing you have the freedom to choose everything from the blade shape (as long as it remains a seax), leather colors of the handle and sheath, and engravings on both the knife and sheath. Contact prior to ordering is not optional. if you fail to do so I will send a single message to recommend re-reading the description. if no reply is made before 12hrs from the initial message I will cancel and refund the order. I hand forge all of these knifes from American made 5160 HC steel. I do not cut and grind my work to shape like the vast majority of knife makers today. every piece is forged to around 85% complete including the bevels for the blade. doing this results in a far more durable blade than if it was cut to shape. I use no fancy equipment other than a belt grinder so as to keep it "old fashioned". The leather I use is premium grade leather from either lamb or deer for the handle and premium grade walnut tan for the sheath. I can use other options, but I'll be at the buyers expense. I'll give near complete freedom with the blade as long as it remains a seax, I will not do any mall ninja blades. If you have any questions than shoot me a message. I will be more than happy to answer any that you may have.
