A Glimpse into History
Personal knives, known as "knifr" in Old Norse, were absolutely essential for Vikings. They were used not only for eating but also for cutting materials, making small repairs, and as an everyday survival tool. They were a symbol of self-sufficiency and were carried by both men and women. Having one's knife readily available, hung around the neck or from a belt, was as natural as carrying keys or a mobile phone is today.
Care Instructions
To ensure this beautiful piece of history serves you for as long as possible, give it the proper care. After each use, especially after contact with food, clean and dry the blade thoroughly to prevent rust. For long-term storage, we recommend applying a light coat of oil (e.g., mineral or vegetable oil) to the blade. Protect the leather sheath from prolonged exposure to moisture and treat it occasionally with a leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness. Store the knife in a dry place.
