A lord's dinner usually had two to three courses, mainly meats and pastries, bread, wine or ale, fruits, cheeses, nuts, and the like. But a feast was something so much more - even our modern day attempts at medieval banquets fall way short of the mark. Beef, pork, mutton, venison, poultry, fish, eggs, bread, milk, cheeses, vegetable, and a profusion of wine, ale, cider, and mead were in ample supply. During the middle ages hosts were not obliged to provide his guest with any kind of eating utensil; guest carried their own knives that were used for both eating and fighting. Knives just like the beauty you see here.  It is made from forged iron steel with a full tang construction.  The handle has polished horn mounts with a four hole design.
