King's Knife (Gotland)

Our King's Knife has been beautifully crafted using the highest-quality materials. The blade has been hand-forged using carbon steel to achieve the iconic shape associated with the Gotland finds from the Viking Age.

The handle has been hand-crafted from bone with a brass plate. The end of the handle features a brass cap and ring, which can be used to attach leather lace. The whole knife has been finished with our signature beeswax and linseed oil blend, which helps protect, aids in grip and brings out the natural colouring. The leather sheath has been hand-sewn and finished masterfully with brass accents and a handy belt loop, in keeping with the Gotland finds.

These are an attempt to recreate what likely would have been used in the Viking Age and are based on the Gotland finds, which date back to the 9th/10th century.
