Medieval Peasant Cleaver Knife "Tractatus" (Late 14th Century)
If you are looking for a costume accessory that looks rugged and ready for hard work, this "cleaver-style" knife is an ideal choice. Its shape resembles a miniature falchion or messer, making it look quite impressive on your belt.
A Tool for Life and Defense
Historical texts suggest that knives were essential everyday carry items for people of all ages. This model features a robust blade that widens towards the tip, increasing its chopping power. The hardwood handle curves significantly downward at the end. This ergonomic feature (often seen on period fighting knives) ensures a secure grip, preventing the knife from slipping out of your hand during chopping motions or when your hands are greasy.
Materials and Craftsmanship
The knife is forged from high carbon steel. The hardwood scales are secured to the tang with brass rivets, creating a pleasing visual contrast. A leather sheath is included to protect the edge and your clothing. Please note that the leather color may vary from piece to piece depending on the current batch.

Important Maintenance and Warranty Notice
Since the blade is made of high carbon steel, it is not stainless. Clean and dry the knife after every use. For long-term storage, oil the blade (e.g., with mineral oil or gun oil). Do not leave the knife stored in the leather sheath for extended periods, as leather absorbs moisture and promotes rust.
