Occupations held by medieval women included shopkeepers, bakers, spinners, alewives, farmers, and silk weavers. In these types of occupations the women would have carried a knife just like a man.  They would have been smaller and more decorative than a mans just like this beauty here. 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 Inches Overall Width: 1.38 Inch Blade Length: 2.25 Inches Blade Thickness: 3.93mm 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
