  The Medieval Kitchen Knives

This is a new line of knives that I created, with the idea of making an ancient-looking, unique and one of a kind, high-performance kitchen knife. It's something of a departure from my usual work, in that I hand forged every blade as closely to final shape as possible, and left that as-forged finish on them. Most of the blades are simpler (low-alloy, high carbon) steels that will take and hold a fantastic edge, but must be maintained like any high carbon steel knife. Having little if any Chromium in them, you simply hand wash them after use and oil them, with Olive oil or similar, to prevent rust or corrosion. These are knives that would be equally at home in the kitchen, at the Renfaire, or in the dungeon, should you find yourself having an impromptu Spanish Inquisition and needing to coerce a confession out of your local heretic. Are they chefs' knives, or Medieval torture devices? Or both? All frivolity aside, you will find these to be some of the finest knives you've ever owned, they will take and hold a superior edge, and work very well for their intended purposes, whatever they may be. Plus, there's the 'WOW, where in the HELL did you get THAT?' factor when your friends visit and see them in action.
