This is the perfect accessory for a Norse maiden and can be used for meal preparation, trimming tablet weaving strands, or many other tasks. The blade is a tad short to be a “true” huntsman knife. I bought one of these for my girlfriend for her Viking village dress. It was a perfect accessory. the carving on the leather scabbard is very tastefully done.
