Bjorn's Knife (Gotland)

Bjorn's Knife has been beautifully crafted using the highest-quality materials. The blade has been hand-forged using carbon steel to achieve the iconic shape associated with the Gotland finds from the Viking Age.

The handle has been hand-crafted from Ash with a brass plate. The end of the handle features a brass cap and ring, which can be used to attach leather lace. The whole knife has been finished with our signature microcrystalline wax blend, which helps protect, aids in grip and brings out the natural colouring. The leather sheath has been hand-sewn and finished masterfully with brass accents and a handy belt loop, in keeping with the Gotland finds.

These are an attempt to recreate what likely would have been used in the Viking Age and are based on the Gotland finds, which date back to the 9th/10th century.

Each knife has been carefully handmade. Therefore, it is possible for there to be some small variations.

Please note: High-carbon steel blades are used for their durability and ability to keep a sharpened edge. However, like all carbon steel blades, they are susceptible to moisture erosion (rust) if not cared for correctly. Please oil the blade regularly, especially after use and before storing for long periods of time.
