yeah i based it on a seax and elongated the blade needs a decent edge putting on it. im practicing with some cheapo blades before i touch this.
didnt think it was too bad for two days graft.
 
You're on your way! My advice to any new maker, 1) never give up on a knife project - make something useful out of it. 2) stop work when you feel good about what you're doing - never give up in disgust.
 
that's a keeper!
welcome to the madness of knife making..you are now an official knife maker...
