The Viking Blacksmith’s knife is also known as a Viking knife, Blacksmith’s knife and also a Viking lady’s knife (although I have never seen an original historic specimen in a museum.)

The knife and handle are forged from one piece of steel. I have forged these knives to feel good in the hand, rendering them a neat and useful little side knife as well a reliable using tool.

The blades are hardened and double tempered and the handles left unhardened and resilient.

I forge these blades from the offcuts of my hand forged swords so in some sense, although they are a small knife they are the sons and daughters of my swords……….

All these knives come with a snug fitting sheath made from whet molded oak tanned leather and hang in a few different orientations...for belt or thong.

I really enjoy the simplicity of one piece knives.....
the blades are 4 to 7 inches long....
all the best Owen
