Knife

A knife is an instrument that has a sharp blade attached to a handle and is used for cutting. Typically a knife is single-edged, if both edges of the knife blade are sharped, it is usually considered a dagger. Everyone would have worn a knife in period, if only for eating.

Knives in the SCA

Remember, if you draw steel at an SCA event, you must say "Clear!" to warn others.
