Belt Knife- Small 13th/14thC

A small belt knife with a fullered blade. Lightweight and very sharp, it makes a fantastic personal knife for higher status medieval impressions of the 13th to 14th centuries.

The blade is traditionally forged from a twisted billet of iron and steel, with a carbon steel cutting edge fire welded on. The tang extends fully through the stacked handle made up of German steel spacers, faux ivory and black cow horn, completed with a small brass finial.
 
The sheath is water moulded and hand stitchedd with incised decorations similar to those found from medieval London and Dordrecht.
