Medieval Stainless Steel Travel Cutlery Set

Medieval Stainless Steel Travel Cutlery Set with Leather Belt Pouch

A Piece of History at Your Waist

During the Middle Ages and early modern period, it was not at all common for a host to provide cutlery for their guests at a feast. Every proper diner brought their own personal eating knife and spoon. Interestingly, the fork was adopted in Europe quite late and was initially even considered a sinful tool by some church representatives, who believed that one should eat God's gifts with their own hands. With this set, however, you have everything you need neatly in one place. The black leather pouch features a practical loop on the back, allowing you to easily hang the entire set on your belt so it is always within immediate reach. For safety reasons, please keep in mind that the knife is primarily designed for cutting food, features an edge, and is under no circumstances suitable as a weapon for fencing or for throwing.

Proper Care for Long-Lasting Durability

Even though this cutlery set is made of modern stainless steel, I strongly recommend washing it exclusively by hand. Using a dishwasher and aggressive chemical detergents can create unsightly maps and stains on the metal, permanently damaging its finish. Always wipe the cutlery completely dry after washing before putting it back into the case. Treat the leather pouch occasionally with a high-quality beeswax leather balm to keep the natural material supple and protected from external moisture.

Recommended Feasting Gear

To complement this practical travel cutlery set, I highly recommend acquiring a solid wooden or horn bowl.
