My recos of hallstatt (550BC) "real man´s sidekicks":
Utility knife in scabbard, oiled and beeswaxed elmwood, the scabbard is wrapped with blue linnen yarn (with invisible knot).
The blade is of forged iron (no steel), glued in the hilt with birchtar.
My hallstatt folder, handforged iron blade, antler hilt (sealed with birchtar) and hefts from bone. The rivet is from bronze.
Ready for duty.
Recos after finds from Hochdorf and Hallstatt.
