Spangler Forge Olivewood Seax (Medium)

I bought two of these 12-13 years ago from Ragweed when my son was in scouts. They are still used today by both of us and have taken much abuse over the years. I have batoned it many times and it is none the worse for wear and even used it with a piece of quartz to throw a spark on char cloth once.
I liked the handle so much I made a pattern for it to duplicate on my knife builds. I dont think there is a better value for a sub $15 knife.

Very nice blade for a small neck knife. I just completed this one. I used wenge, beech , and orange osage.

This is a stunning knife, dexterous and comfortable for medium/large man hands

I really like the Finman! It's like my Mora Basic 511 only with a slightly more comfy handle but with a less refined, unpolished blade. I like the sheath on the Finman as it can hang on a peg above my work bench or slips easily in a pocket or pack. If you want a knife with a belt sheath, the 511 Mora would be a better choice as the sheath for the Finman isn't really good for a belt in my opinion. Both the Finman and the Mora 511 are my favorite size knives. Buy them both and use the heck out of them, they're cheap enough!!

Always great supply and price and promot shipping on knives from Finland and Sweden, especially the Mora Basic, in annual edition colors. And a friendly note from proprietor Richard thanking for each purchase.

Built this to build as a gift....quite pleased (as normal with the other Lauri blades i've purchased).....paired with a stained, spalted sweet gum handle finished with lacquer....going to order a couple more!

Awesome knives

Well made and sharp out of the box.

Had our family Christmas tonight. Told them to make a video once they learn to start a fire. I had a video before I got home lmao what I thought would take a week to learn was learned quick proud of them. They loved their Mora neck knives

Great product. Great service.

Dampened outside leather with warm water. Wrapped knife with kitchen plastic wrap. Inserted blade in sheath to wanted position.
Set everything on a heavy rubber work mat. Place a 3/8-inch dowel on the outside sheath next to the inserted blade. Topped with dense foam and 200 pounds of gym weights for 24 hours. I air-dried the sheath and did a quick dunk of the complete sheath in liquid SnoSeal. Air dried in house for a week and buffed outside leather with old belt leather.

Beautiful and useful jasper sharping stones. Great gifts that will last a few lifetimes.

Could not be happier about the transaction buying knifes from ragweed forge thank you for your very fast delivery response

Worked great for a lauri knife build. No I have peace of mind that I won't cut through a leather sheath like butter
