In the day-to-day reality of things, medieval women had a lot of responsibility and were not at all inferior to men in terms of daily effort. Most worked and did not stay at home, contrary to some modern beliefs. Many toiled alongside their families in the fields, and some were employed in workshops or were trades-women. Women also carried a knife with them to help in their day to day life.  This knife is small and perfect for a woman of that time period. It is simple yet a little more decorative than a knife for a man.  This is made with a full tang construction from forged iron steel and a blackened finish.  The tang has been twisted and curved to create a lovely handle. Included is a leather sheath so you can tie your blade to a sash or belt.   Specifications: Overall Length: 5.75 Inches Overall Width: 1.38 Inch Blade Length: 3 Inches Blade Thickness: 5.04mm Blade Material: Forged Iron Steel Handle Length: 2.75 Inches Handle Wrapping: Leather Features: Hand Forged Drop Point Blade Darkened Finish Leather Sheath Full Tang
