Breeish Knife set
Breeish Knife set
And I have completed my first multi-knife sheath for my Breelander kit.
14th c. table knife and pricker, and a small utility by-knife (which I have shown before)

Re: Breeish Knife set
Another lovely bit of work. I am quite excited to see it all together now.
But the white fury of the Northmen burned the hotter, and more skilled was their knighthood with long spears and bitter. Fewer were they but they clove through the Southrons like a fire-bolt in a forest.

Re: Breeish Knife set
Cool!
... I recall seeing that knife pattern in the MoL book I think - is there any particular reason for that shape that you've discovered?

Re: Breeish Knife set
Yup, it's catalog item 124 in MOL's Knives & Scabbards
As for why, I have no idea. I like it, but don't know what it's for yet. As you can see, MOL calls it a stepped back, and I copied that. ...but I've seen Tod Cutler's interpretation of it, and his is a sharpened swedge. I do think the evidence bears it out, but he may have been able to handle the original.

Re: Breeish Knife set
Interesting!
... I'd occasionally wondered if the step was the result of a weld breaking off, but I didn't know enough about blade forging to even know if that's even plausible.
Maybe the shape was once for boning? Or someone just thought it was cool?
Regardless, neat!

Re: Breeish Knife set
very nice work

Well, I have a large Dunedain fighting knife based on an irish scian with a highly decorated scabbard, a rebuild of the puuko that Farodel gave me (because my teen left it in fishing tackle box over winter), several bags and pouches, a soapstone pump drill, an antler dunedain star (old, but I don't think I've ever shared it.), a Snaptun inspired hearthstone, and about eight other things on my workbench.Greg post_id =51306 wrote:Tue Feb 22, 2022 12:27 pm Awesome work!

Re: Breeish Knife set
I understand, though I can't count the amount of times I have seen glimpses of a partly finished project, or raw idea inspire another.

Re: Breeish Knife set
It looks really great, but I don't understand the shape of the longer knife. Can somebody explain why it's shaped like that?

Re: Breeish Knife set
I don't think anyone really knows. Some people interpret it as a sharpened back that has been sharpened until it is ground down.Tom_Ranger wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 8:02 pm It looks really great, but I don't understand the shape of the longer knife. Can somebody explain why it's shaped like that?
You want strange shapes in history, check out fish knives and panters (Both from MOL Knives & Scabbards):

Re: Breeish Knife set
Actually, I know exactly why they are shaped that way in Drawing 14. The open hook at the end is put under a peg or knob of some sort as a leverage fulcrum point, then rotate the handle side down SImilar to a paper cutter that has a hinge on one end. It's called a Clogger Stock Knife and they are used in everything from Leather work, to food, to wood work. Here is an example of one type.caedmon wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 10:59 pm
