These cooks knifes sets are individually hand forged by Paul Binns who is one of the best re-enactment blades smiths currently working today. The cases are made entirely by hand from vegetable tanned calf skin that has been dyed using period dyes. Each knife has its own sheath within the case and the sheaths are wet moulded around each knife which makes for a perfect fit. They have a leather thong so they can be carried from a belt.
