A Strange knife
Any ideas on what this is or what it might supposed to be ( as I doubt that it is very old ) ? It is 26 cm long measured in a straight line.

Crude replica of a Viking-style utility knife, with the handle bent the wrong way, a common mistake.

I have to agree. Modern beginners blacksmith knife. I doubt they were even trying to create a replica Viking knife so i don't see the design as a mistake, simply a creative choice. If this has been hardened well a bit of finishing work might make a nice knife out of this.
Anyway, more a subject for a knife making forum then what we talk about here. |

There are apparently Scandinavian (Danish) Iron Age examples. |
