Knives were first used as Cutlery 500 years ago before that people would carry their own Knife in a Sheath attached to their belt.  These dinner knives were narrow and their sharply pointed ends were used to spear the food rather than using a fork, as we do today. This blade here is made from forged iron steel with a twisted handle that has been scrolled at the end.  It is great for Medieval dinners, as a prop, or for re-enactments. Overall Length: 7.25 Inches
