Walnut Trailcrest™ Carbon Steel Seax Knife – Walnut Handle & Brass

The Walnut Trailcrest™ Carbon Steel Seax Knife combines an 11-inch 1040 carbon-steel blade with a natural walnut handle, brass accents, and a hand-sewn leather scabbard.

At approximately 16 inches overall, it offers a balanced size for collectors who appreciate traditional materials and historically inspired fixed-blade designs. The walnut handle brings warm grain and natural color variation, while the brass fittings create a clean contrast against the carbon-steel blade.

Each knife is individually hand-finished. Natural differences in walnut grain, leather color, and blade finish are expected.

1040 Carbon-Steel Blade

The blade measures approximately 11 inches long and 1.25 inches wide. It is made from 1040 carbon steel and has a specified hardness of approximately 58–60 HRC.

The blade arrives sharpened and uses a traditional single-edged seax profile. Its proportions sit between compact seax styles and extended long-blade designs.

Walnut Handle and Brass Details

The handle is made from natural walnut wood with brass accents and a brass end cap.

Walnut is a natural material, so individual pieces may vary in grain pattern, shade, and markings. These variations give every knife its own distinct appearance.

The brass fittings complement the warm walnut handle while keeping the overall design simple and material-focused.

Leather Scabbard Included

A hand-sewn leather scabbard is included with the Walnut Trailcrest™ Carbon Steel Seax Knife.

Before placing the blade inside, make sure the carbon steel is clean and completely dry. Leather can retain moisture, so avoid leaving a wet or damp blade inside the scabbard during storage.
