I will certainly throw in my recommendation for Paul Binns products. I have
several of his blades...swords, scrams...for working and fighting. All are
well manufactured. If you can give him a picture, he can make it. He and
Ali are great people and friendly. Love to go out and poke through his
workshop.

Scramseax,basically a group of knifes that include hadseax {hand knife},
langseax {longknife}.Carrying a knife shows you are a free person,a slave
would have been given a knife to complete a task & would then return it to
the lender.A scramseax comes in varying sizes dependant on use.A small knife
for eating,a larger more robust knife for heavier work.The langseax is not a
tool but a weapon of war,it has no other use than killing people & as such
is a status symbol just below that of a swordThe usual shape of the knife is
similar to the of a door wedge in profile but becoming less pronounced the
longer the blade.With prolonged use & sharpening the end result is similar
to the blade of a bowie knife.The spine of the blade can be 3-6mm thick
thining to the cutting edge.
In Regia a blade over 6 inchs long must be tempered & the cutting edge must
be no less than 3mm thick & rounded so there's no sharp edges.The point of
the blade must be rounded to 10mm.
Check out www.paul-binns-sword.co.uk/saexes.htm
<http://www.paul-binns-sword.co.uk/saexes.htm> & then check out his whole
site for some tasty weaponry.
As for the rest of the weapons specs,cutting edges must be 3mm thick,points
must be 10mm in diameter,blade must not be just a flat piece of metal cut to
shape & they must be tempered & hardened where needed.I'm hoping that some
kind person will give you the link to the online weapons specs coz i can't
find it a the moment.On there it gives weights & measurements for the
weaponry.
I hope paul binns site is useful to you,sorry for mixing imperial & metric
mesurements but i don't do imperial mesurements below an inch coz i'm a
product of the change over in the british schooling system!{doh!}
