Members Tundra Leather Posted February 25, 2013 Members Report Posted February 25, 2013 Hello from Canada! I just noticed this on the forum, and I'd like to share a photo of two knives that I have in my collection. They were from a 14th century dig in Yugoslavia. Hope this helps. Cheers, Sean Tundra Leather Quote
Trox Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 Hi all, I found a couple of knifes on French EBay who looks pretty old. They might both have new handles. The first one looks like it is from the 18 century French saddlery. The second might be a later Hungarian style of knife, or a 18 century French knife too. In the Encyclopedia of Diderot and D` Alembert, Paris c. 1760 you can see the first style of knife. It is one knife for sale on French EBay right now http://www.ebay.ca/itm/251226490712?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 who looks like a 18. c style. Older knifes are hard to find, you might be able to find some in museums. You can see some drawings of early round knifes in the book of R. A. Salaman: Dictionary of leather-working tools, c. 1700-1950. He dates the one with a pointed (awl) end to be from AD 1400 to 1500.
