Work actually.

I work in the Iron Age so I need something suitable.

Quite the commute.

I work in the same time zone - at Castell Henllys in Pembrokeshire - and had Dave Budd of this parish make me a nice blade with a steel edge welded to an Iron back in true period style. Handled the blade and made the sheath myself.... it passed the scrutiny of the management of the site
I patinated the blade with vinegar to highlight the difference in the metals. It cuts, takes and holds an edge like a dream and is a joy to use!

 

[Tengu]

Lets see what turns up, eh?

There are far too many nice blades to get knife envy.

I know this isn’t for trade tengu, but found this on the British museum website https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1967-0202-107 now that is an interesting Iron Age knife

 

[Tengu]

An ulu?

@Tengu

When you come North next time, do you intend to come up the M74 ?

 

[Pattree]

@rich d2
Well @Tengu was looking for interesting knives and that’s a cracker. It looks good for leather work or food prep.
A sort of Don Carlos.

 

[Tengu]

M74? Yes?

 

[Toddy]

Well, if you can stop off at Hamilton Services, I'll meet you there, and there's a bag of stuff for you.....and three suitable Iron Age knives, all with sheaths that suit.
I'm never going to use these now, and you will, so best they come to you.

atb,
M

 

[Tengu]

I could....wont be until some time in March.

<Thinks>

(Just over two months to go...hurray!)

 

[Toddy]

I'll put them in a box and stow them safely. Let me know nearer the time and we'll arrange to meet up.
There's cordage and firelighting stuff too if it'd be of use ?

 

[Tengu]

Yes, thanks a bunch. All that you supply me with I make use of; even if its giving to my tribe who are very grateful.

(I have a tribe now; can you believe it? Scottish too...)

Just looked at your pics and see you really are a brown feathered Tengu.
