I've been asked by a "living history" reenactment group to work together for a number of knives from the period around 1302.
This is the year of the "battle of the Golden Spurs" near Kortrijk in Flanders where the Flemish massacred the French army. (and around the same time (give a couple of years) the battle of Bannockburn in Scotland where the Scots, lead by William Wallace, defeated the English (movie "Bravehaert")).
Any links or more info for utility cutlery from this time will be helpfull.
( the link to medievalantiquities was already helpfull)
Don, your pics didn't show today
