A Utility Knife From the Medieval Period
This is a medieval style knife that I made recently. It has a good sturdy feel to it. The blade is 5 inches long and 1 and 1/16 inch wide and 1/8 inch thick. The hilt is made of ash and nickel silver and is 4 1/4 inches long. It weighs 7 ounces It does have a dark brown leather sheath as well. It swallows the knife halfway up the handle.
Durable Assembly – Practical Design
Although I say this is medieval styled, it would actually fit into just about any period as a personal utility knife for a man or woman. The blade is 1095 high-carbon steel and will hold an edge quite well. The bevel is of the modified appleseed or “Moran” edge.
