This is a great all round utility knife for re-enactors and Medieval persona as well as aficionados that want a nice little all purpose knife and appreciate the natural materials and handmade look. Utility knife for hunting (skinning small game), fishing (scaling & gutting), carving and whittling wood, cutting cord, boning & filleting, paring, peeling, slicing & dicing :)
Comments: This one a beauty with it's recurved shape! The materials, workmanship and quality is excellent. Solid construction for a lifetime of use. I expect you’ll be pleased, especially at this price. I inspect these, take my own photos and measurements, add my own description. I only see what I own and can recommend. I’m a collector, a re-enactor and a weekend warrior, active in my local HEMA group and and shows so I get lots of feedback. See my Seller ratings and buy with confidence, plus I ship fast!

A trailing point blade has a dull back that allows the wielder to use one or more fingers to concentrate force as well as making the knife strong. The long curving front edge is ideal for slicing and skinning, but can be used to chop, as well as picking and piercing with the strong point.
