Crafting kit for a sax with high carbon steel blade.
This kit for a Germanic long sax makes it easy to make a unique Viking or Teutonic sax to your own taste.
The long sax crafting kit includes a carbon steel sax blade, building instructions and various materials for the knife handle and leather for making a sax scabbard.
The Germanic sax blade is made of 1095 high carbon steel, a classic among knife steels. This steel is quite tough and grinds very well, with a solid service life. 1095 is an unalloyed and not rust-resistant tool steel.
With a hardness of 54 - 56 HRC Rockwell and a carbon content of 0.90 to 1.03 % with a manganese content of 0.3 to 0.5 % this sax blade s indeed hard to break down and a reliable "workhorse" - hard, flexible, unbreakable!
We recommend keeping the sax blade dry and treating it occasionally with a little oil to prevent possible flash rust.

1 sax blade 47 x 3.5 cm / cutting edge 33 cm
1 walnut wood block 12 x 4 x 3 cm
