Gotlandic Knife

£410.00

Blade: 4 3/4" singled edged blades of differentially hardened 1095 high carbon steel slightly hollow ground after a find from Novgorod, and polished and etched to show the hardening lines and honed to a fine edge.

Handle and Mount: the blade has been fitted with a sycamore handle, deeply carved with Mammen style beasts. The handle has an inlet crenellated copper ferrule patterned after a number of finds from Gotland, and simple copper buttplate secured with copper pins.

Sheath: The blade is protected by a hand stitched and tooled scabbard of light cowhide reinforced with hammered copper plaquette and copper suspension ring.
