Historic reenacting has been acitve for over fifty years, and 'interesting' knives have been a big part of it since the start.

Many old original knives were usde at first. Others utilized rebuilt older blades, or blacksmith handmade copies. Few were marked, and all have a ince 'patina' by now!

I don't do 'carbon dating', and i'm not good at tall tales. oS -for me-they are all 'reenactor knives'. I thought they were 'neat' when i swapped or bought 'em. And that was ogod enough.
