This medieval Brass Cased folding knife (TCP65) is of a common pattern you see through from the 12th to 16thC.
A very easy to make, low status, utility, folding knife. Solid brass case, hollow ground straight edged blade that can be used as a razor. Although, whether or not this was used as a razor or just as a folding utility knife we do not know. Blade is carbon steel and held open with a thumb tag which was the standard way until the 17th C.

This medieval horn, folding knife (TCP66) is based on a 14thC example but this sort of style was around in both the 13th and 15thC. It may or may not be a razor or a simple utility knife, we do not know. But, either way the blade is held open by a simple thumb tag which was the standard way until the 17thC.
Overall length – 19cm/7,5″
Blade length – 75mm/3″
