Product description
This utility knife is based on different originals from the La Tène period. This was a culture in the European Iron Age. The culture flourished between 450 BC and the first century BC. The name comes from a place in Switzerland near a lake where many artifacts from this period were found. The La Tène art style is characterized by elegant organic forms, such as the so-called vegetal style.
This knife has an elegant shape, the grip is wrapped with leather and ends narrow with a curled end. The knife has a hand-forged authentic appearance and is very suitable for reconstructions of Celts and Gauls. It comes with a leather sheath with a loop to hang it on the belt.

Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result.
