PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Viking Knife
These Viking knives have been beautifully hand forged using carbon steel to achieve the iconic shape associated with this style of knife, according to finds throughout Viking Age Scandinavia and Britain.
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'?
This style of knife has been found across most of Northern Europe (and beyond), and often are referred to as "Viking knife", "Blacksmith's Knife", "Celtic Knife" and more. The simple design made them relatively simple design and only required on material.
The tang is drawn out and bent back on itself to create a, surprisingly, comfortable handle, which often incorporated a twist for added grip.
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.
