SZCO Supplies 7.25" Hand-Forged Medieval Cutlery Set – Carbon Steel Fork, Knife, Spoon with Leather Pouch, Renaissance Costume Utensils for Camping, Cosplay, and Historical Display

I got a set to use with a traditional camping setup (1850-1930). They are solidly made and I've already used them numerous weekends since they arrived. They come coated in a light oil so I would wash them in hot soapy water before using. The sheath they come with doesn't quite fit, but it works. I would rub it down with either mink or olive oil to soften the leather and make it easier to use. The knife is amazing! It takes and holds a keen edge and has already cut a lot of meat and veggies while cooking as well as cutting meat on the plate. I havent had a need to re-sharpen yet. The fork (being 2 tined) is great for meat or larger bites such as potatoes or carrots, but fails for foods such as eggs. But that is it's nature. Just use the spoon! The spoon is rather large and extra thick. I would like it to be a bit smaller and thinner. But when eating soups or stews outside while winter camping you came to appreciate it! Great kit for the price and will soon order 2 more!

Very well made!

Nice designs and made well enough for the price. Feel very strong and substantial but not overly heavy or anything. The knife actually has excellent ergonomics and the spoon has to be my heaviest spoon now. The ends are polished smooth on spoon and fork. These aren't just props they would be very enjoyable to eat with. Definitely forged except for the fork whose tongs are welded on. Forks like this with the two tongs were traditionally made by twisting two wires together. This fork isn't constructed that way so it isn't necessarily period accurate. The knife has a very uneven grind although its still quite sharp. And like everyone else said the utensils were drenched in grease which wasn't the easiest thing to remove. The leather sheath is actual leather but pretty cheap otherwise and is only just barely big enough to hold all 3 utensils. You have to do some tetris to get them all in, and once you do its busting at the seems. That combined with the sharp edges on the fork and knife gives me little confidence in the longevity of the sheath. Overall I would say great for the price. Took off a star for the problems with the sheath, the grease, and the poor grind on the knife edge.

Product arrived on time and in good condition, no rust. The knife is sharp and coated black like the picture, but the spoon and fork were just silver. The best part was that they were all lead free! They are strong, thick, solid metal. The fork is just welded on rod and the leather pouch is pretty cheap, but for $17 what do you expect.

I attend renaissance faires with an archery guild and we like to use period cutlery as much as possible. These work perfectly. The knife is sharp enough to use for meat and bread, though I wouldn't consider it some sort of blacksmithing masterwork or anything. I particularly like the spoon, as we do a lot of soup meals. The 2 tong fork is a lot of fun but plenty easy to use. It was exactly what I was hoping for and at a terrific price. I'll be getting more sets to give to new folks who join the guild.

This cutlery looks great and is fully functional. It will complement and enhance your outdoor style. Very satisfied.

Great solid utensils to use for Renaissance Faire, or just to have for in-character eating at home! Keep in mind that as these are made from carbon steel, you will need to clean them immediately after use or you do risk them rusting. The carrier that comes with them does have a belt loop so you can carry these with you if you like.

Carrier: TL;DR the carrier/sheathe is not great and I'd suggest making/buying a separate carrier for the cutlery if you can. - The leather strap meant to hold the metalware together almost immediately snapped when I gently bent it prior to tying. (-1 star). - Belt loop sits rather high up since the loop is in the center of the carrier, rather than at the top. The loop is also a rather small opening and won't fit onto larger or thicker belts, such as most leather belts. (-1 star). - Front pocket also seems rather thin and flimsy compared to the very stiff back. I'm a little apprehensive about the long-term viability of the carrier if I'm to keep placing the knife and fork into it. (-1 star) Metalware/Cutlery: TL;DR Looks great! Very oily, so wash first. - Out of the box, the metalware is slathered in oil. This is likely to help preserve it and prevent rust upon arrival, but definitely wash before eating with it as I doubt the oil is safe for consumption. (-1 star) - The metalware looks great though! The spoon is a bit thicker than expected at nearly 1/4 inch thick, but something tells me that's par for the course for medieval cutlery. Other than that, the metalware looks really nice and feels good to hold. (+1 star) - The knife it comes with, as well as the two-pronged fork seem nice and sharp and of a decent quality too. May have versatile uses beyond simply eating. We'll see. (+1 star) - I haven't had a chance to test the metalware out, but it seems more than sufficient for eating with. Though be careful about prolonged exposure to heat, as you might burn your hands if you're out in the sun all day with metal cutlery on your belt. (expected since it's metal) (+0 stars) Overall, I'd say this is a 3 star product.

Even better than expected, these Medieval cutlery are incredible! An amazing blacksmith work! They are sturdy and will last longer than me! -- Also, don’t be alarmed about that 'Cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm' warning on the box. You’re not going to get cancer or cause birth defects if you use and carry the set regularly. This is only the the result of California’s Proposition 65. You can read about it online.

la calidad y mano de obra

washed with dawn dishsoap twice to remove the grease; seems they are fire blackened to a medium hard temper; the file will bite and skate intermittently on the blade edge. knife grind bevel, will require much work to have a sharp knife that will cut; as is spreads butter well. Care for these will depend on them not being exposed to damp air. they will most certainly rust. this is not stainless steel. what I did: I rubbed an amount of beeswax to coat the handle of the knife, and used a torch lighter to heat the metal so the wax would layer across the surface. the knife is now treated and rust proofed; with a slightly improved tactility to the grip. The craftsmanship: well to good grade; this will last years as long as they are not left to moisture, and treated carefully with wax when needed. The " leather sheath" : oh man.. it's .. paper wrapped in pleather, glued down, sewed, and slapped together. miserably construction; will require a new sheath to be made; fortunately i'm a leatherworker and the replacement of the sheath will not be any trouble at all. My only complaint is the esthetic twist of the metal gets in the way when attempting to stack the tools for storage. aside from that; expected a little bit of rust; but these are quality re-enactment tools.

EXCELENETE PRODUCTO

Lorsque l'ensemble est arrivé, il était enduit d'une huile de protection pour le métal. J'ai dû le nettoyer plusieurs fois, car je doute que cette huile soit comestible. Un fois nettoyé, vous devez l'essuyer et ne pas laisser sécher à l'air libre, car la rouille prend très facilement. L'étui en cuir n'est pas de qualité supérieur, de plus les ustensiles y entre difficilement, surtout le fourchette.
