Druid Knife

Description of the Product

This beautiful knife in the shape of a sickle is inspired by the Celtic druids and forged entirely by hand from a single piece of carbon steel. The Celtic druids of prehistoric times were known for collecting mistletoe and healing herbs with golden sickles in the holy forests in the moonlight. Druids were the high-ranking class in Celtic societies but unfortunately they didn't leave a written record of themselves. What we know about druids comes from the Roman and Greek texts. Druids were religious leaders, healers and legal authorities in Celtic societies and were described as wise men and sorcerers in ancient texts. The Celtic sickles were the inspiration for the design of this Druid's knife. In contrast to the sickle, where the inside is sharpened, the blade of the druid knife is sharp on the outside.

This druid knife simply impresses with its elegantly curved shape and the handle that is rolled up into a spiral. The contrast between the shiny, polished, reflective blade and the matte black, forged handle gives the Druid's knife a peculiar look that underlines the dualism between black and white, day and night, good and bad. This hand-forged druid knife is delivered with a leather sheath with leather strap that can be used to hang the knife for example from belt. The color of the leather may vary from brown to black.

This small knife is sharpened and is ideal for cutting herbs and plants, but is also just as suitable in the kitchen and in everyday use. The hardness of the knife is 54 to 56 HCR Rockwell.
