The Knife: The Most Personal Item of the Middle Ages
In the Middle Ages, a personal knife was an absolute necessity for everyone, regardless of social status. It was not just a weapon, but primarily a universal tool for eating (forks were not in common use), work, and survival. People carried their knives with them at all times, often hung from a belt or, indeed, around the neck. To own such a hand-forged knife meant carrying the key to many daily activities.
