Re: [h-cost] Source needed
Hi rebecca, I bough this dagger at the Ren Store. It is very nice for the money, I got the bone handle one, also comes in ebony colored handle made of antler. Service is fast, their web page (that follows) also has 2 other daggers that may be ok for your needs. http://www.renstore.com/items.asp?Cc=ES%2DKNIVESiTpStatus=0Tp=Bc= hope that helps, happy holidays, Melody REBECCA BURCH [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anybody have a good source for an inexpensive eating dagger?

RE: [h-cost] Source needed
Just an unasked piece of information. Daggers were used for a specific purpose and it wasn't cutting up your food. All the actual eating knives I have seen in European Museums and Marc de Gaukler's actual archeological pieces look a lot like a common eating knife, or a paring knife. The top of the blade blunt and the bottom with an edge. Handles were wood or bone. Taking a look at the pictures that show them actually eating and you will see this. Now that I've given you a whole bunch of information that isn't what you want...http://www.medievalwares.com/new.htm Take a look at the knives about 1/2 way down the page. Your boy can always look snarky at his friends and point out that his knife is a Proper Period Style! My eating knife is actually a fishing knife I bought from Finland. It has a leather scabbard and is the sharpest thing I've ever owned.! It also cost about $6.00 then. Try this URL because I think they made mine: http://www.kellamknives.com/index.php?main_page=indexcPath=1 EEE! I just looked at the prices! I should have invested in this company instead of Microsoft! Still that is the actual form that you are looking for. Here is the URL for a place that might satisfy him http://www.swordsknivesanddaggers.com/catalog/medievalweapons/MedievalDagger s.aspx Best place to find such is at an SCA event with merchants. I've never seen a large grouping that doesn't have a nice selection. I must admit to a real weakness for sharp point objects.

Still that is the actual form that you are looking for. There's a vendor on EBay that sells small knives that match the description Wanda gave and that in my opinion would make great eating knives for periods from Viking period to 16th c. (he actually has a few different models for the different periods) at really good prices ($15-$25 USD for his small Viking knives). His EBay seller name is sussen and his store name is Von Sussen Enterprises. I've never bought from him so I don't know how reliable he is. You should be aware that some of his models are your standard fantasy-influenced fare. And, darn it, he doesn't have any of the Viking-style small knives he often has Here's URLs to a 16th c reproduction and a late medieval one: http://cgi.ebay.com/16th-C-utility-knife-historic-repro-of-museum-find-H_W0QQitemZ300180719258QQihZ020QQcategoryZ156374QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (This one is $50, but claims to be an exact reproduction of an actual find.) http://cgi.ebay.com/14th-15th-Century-belt-utility-knife-with-Bone-handle_W0QQitemZ300179816992QQihZ020QQcategoryZ475QQcmdZViewItem (This one is much cheaper, and the shape checks out with my memory of belt knives from 14th-15th c art. They sometimes have this shape with horn or wood handles, and the prices differ a little depending on which substance is used.) My own eating knife is a reproduction of a standard, single-edged small Viking knife that I bought from Ragweed Forge, but he got the last of their production runs, and I don't think he has them any more.It was $40. -- Cathy Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.-- Mark Twain ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
