The dark, mottled surface is forge scale left as it came off the anvil, not a coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each one is hammered individually, no two are the same\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e Slight variation in the ring, the curve of the edge and the surface texture is the point, not a flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNorse and Celtic roots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRing-handled working knives turn up across Viking Age and Celtic sites — small, simple blades carried daily for rope, leather, cord and food.
