The small one on the left has the bone artificialy aged by soaking it in plant acids as found in humus. It is a replica of an actual find from Germany. Unfortunatly, it was a commission, so it is not available for sale, but I will be happy to make you one like it.

For your information, the curved blade utility knife is NOT suitable for the Middle Ages, straight or droppoint blades are the norm there. This type of bladeshape is typicly Roman.
