PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Brokkr's Knife
According to finds throughout Viking Age Scandinavia and Britain, Brokkr's knife has been beautifully hand forged using carbon steel to achieve the iconic shape associated with this style of knife.
The tang has been drawn out and bent back on itself to create a sturdy integral handle, which features a twist for added grip. The end of the handle has been curled back to create a finger guard. The knife has been finished with our signature beeswax and linseed oil blend, which helps protect, aids in grip and enhances the natural colouring. The sheath has been sewn by hand and houses the knife snugly.
These are an attempt to recreate what likely would have been used in the Viking Age. Knifes based on this shape have been used for thousands of years, particularly across Northern Europe.

WHAT IS A 'VIKING KNIFE'?

These would have been a staple of everyday life!
KNIFE CARE
Knifes are supplied with a small tin of our signature linseed oil and beeswax blend, as well as being treated before being shipped.
High Carbon steel is not 100% water resistant, and requires the regular application of oil (or our wax blend) to keep the knife looking its best.
