The first knife is a triangular blade for a bollock dagger that changed it's mind and turned into a seax blade. It has an OAL of 17 1/4" and is 1 3/8" wide and 1/8" thick. The blade length is 11" and was forged out of 9260 flat bar.
The pair of knives is spear point daddy and spear point junior. They were forged from 3/4" 52100 round bar. The longer of the two is 11 1/2" with a 7" blade, ricasso included. The shorter one is 10" OAL with a 5 1/2" blade. Both are 1 1/8" and 3/16" at the ricasso. I was actually aiming for something about 1 1/2-2" shorter but I misjudged on how much the bar was going to draw out during forging. I'm considering this basic form for an EDC type blade. I will just basically vary the point style.
Right now all of them are ground out to 120 grit and I will take them to 220 grit before hardening them in the next day or two.
I'm going to put an 8" handle on the seax in keeping with the traditional design for the blade. I'm still thinking about how to handle the two spear points. Will post all three again when I have them completed.

P.S. The picture at the bottom of the page is one I didn't know that I was posting. It's of the same seax above.
