Grosses Messer Medieval Reproduction Sword 1480-1540

It is one of those odd hair splitting definitions that history is full of and in this case these predominantly German and Swiss weapons feature knife scale construction and a minimal pommel. In terms of how they feel and were used, they are very similar to falchions and so do not be deceived by the wide blade; they cut with authority but are still agile.

Blade length                65cm/25.5”

Horn and Bone Layered Medieval Eating knife 14th to Early 16thC

Horn and Bone Layered Medieval Eating knife 14thC-15thC. This is a very striking middle class medieval eating knife that could be mistaken for high status. In fact the layers are a lowly, brass, bone and horn, so this is firmly middle class but a very pretty eating knife.

This example is based on 14thC Thames finds, but the style continued into the early 16thC

Blade length 11.5cm/4.6″

Handle 11.5cm/4.6″

Total length 21cm 8.25″
