SZCOSupplies 203340 Wire Wrapped Seax with Sheath, Stainless Steel, 15.5 inch

Caveat- I am not an outdoorsman and didn’t buy this for field use. I collect and display replica blades. That said, this ranks in quality with other, far more expensive, museum replicas I have purchased in the past. Good and solid with a sharp edge and visually appealing. Great buy for the price.

I purchased 2 of these Seax, one for my husband and one for myself. The knife is a weighty piece, no cheap material here. The blade is not sharp, so if you want a razor edge you will need to sharpen it, the edge it comes with is sufficient for our uses. The sheath is as shown, it is leather, and the stitching is leather. The wire wrapped handle is comfortable to hold and provides a secure grip even when wet! Great purchase for the price.

It looks even better than I had hoped! The wire wrap looks amazing and feels good in the hand, the brass fittings actually look pretty nice and the blade came a lot sharper than I was expecting.I haven't put it down since I got the thing. I absolutely love it! Haven't had a chance to use it yet which I do plan to do, but every knife I have ever owned from Pakistan, though cheap in price and normally not the best fit and finish, have all been pretty decent steel. They have all held an edge well and have held up to a lot of abuse. I put them through way more abuse than my good knives because there expendable and I have always been impressed. I am assuming that this knife will be no different. On top of that it actually looks really amazing! The only reason it isn't 5 stars is that the little silver highlights that hold the wire wrap in place are pretty rough. They have heavy tooling marks on them that weren't even attempted to be cleaned up and they are some what jagged and don't sit as flush as they should for being on a handle. I feel they could really hurt the hands after some extended use. However a half hour with a dimond file should easily flush them up with the wire better and get rid of the tooling marks. And the blade is a hair off cenyer. Aside from that the knife is pretty amazing! For the price I really don't see how any one cold possibly give it less than 4 stars in less they received a completely defective product. All in all I'd give it a 4 and a half if I could. I'm really impressed and excited to get out and use this thing! It's pretty well balanced and is pretty hearty in its build. Looks like I could chop through about anything with it and for the price I wouldn't think twice about taking it to a tree... or a brick wall. Lucky for me though I really don't think it would phase this thing.

Much nicer than I expected. Larger and heavier than expected also, but that's a good thing. The wire wrapped hilt is very tight and looks good. The blade itself is plain spring steel, (guessing here), relitively thick and strong. It probably started life as a car spring which means it's good spring steel but keep a light coat of oil on it. I have not sharpened it yet but it will probably hold an edge well. I was susprised that the sheath was so well done, bordering on beautiful.If any major flaws develop I'll update this review.A great value at this price.

1st use totally destroyed. Save your money, save time and look at the pictures. This thing should be banned because it's so dangerously fragile you could easily lose an eye or get stabbed. Itook this knife to an area in my city where pomegranates grow wild. After hand picking about 6 of the fruit, I found some really nice ones behind this patch of thick dried (dead) bushes. After easily breaking a few dime sized branches to get to the fruit I decided to test the chopping power of this 15" knife. The 10.5 inch blade snaped off at the handle took me a minute to find the blade (mostly due to bewilderment) and what I saw is just shameful, why anyone would weld a nearly 2 pound piece of steel onto a tang no thicker than a car key is beyond comprehension. THIS IS NOT A KNIFE! It's a decoration. I own kitchen knives from the dollar tree that can chop through a dead branch no thicker than a roll of dimes. It's a good thing nobody was behind me when testing this piece of junk on a branch no thicker than a finger. Don't waste your money. I wouldn't evenuse this for cosplay the construction is so shotty it's a danger to wield evenas a prop. Beware of prices too good to be true. Not to mention the cancer warning, who uses lead based materials any more? Jeff Besos is obviously a money grubbing piece if trash for allowing a product with multiple dangerous attributes to be sold on his market place. Shame on Amazon, Shame on Pakistan, and shame on the manufacturer for marketing a liability like this in the first place.

Nice knife for the money, seems well made. Looks great and came with sharp enough edge for my use. Feels good in hand, weight is perfect. Would recommend.
