This is one of the best crafted knives I’ve ever bought it fits well in my hand and while not razor sharp it’s still sharp enough to do many things
Boar's Head Knife - 5.5" Blade (12 cm)
High quality and worth the price, made a great wedding gift
Never disappointed. Great quality and quick shipping.
My husband loves this blade.
Apologies for the delay brothers,
The purchase was for a unique and needed tool for daily use either in the woods or work or defense. I chose the boars head because I knew I was to have it on my side and the hilt has no sharp edges and the design is eye pleasing. The sheath is well made in a way that if I had got the raven the points would not effect movement. I am highly pleased with the purchase it holds it's edge and is true demascus of the old ways. I have attached a photo and video of it in use to build a fire. I have used it extensively already. I do love it. I want a raven as well. Skál

Different than what's in the picture. But pretty good.
Pretty much exactly what I wanted. A beater with a bit of flair. The blade has an uneven grind and came chipped. The one thing i expect out of a sharpened hunk of steel is the edge to be reasonably sound out of the box. Unfortunately, i will be at a sharpening stone for a good while trying to work this chip out of the blade.
Im disappointed in the rush job of the blade. Its so uneven that its difficult to sharpen making the chip it arrived with an even bigger problem than it already was

Beautiful knife that’s actually useable and not just a prop. I got it for my dad and he’s so excited! Will definitely continue buying from Norse tradesman thanks so much!
I love this dagger — great quality and shipped so quickly.
This knife was exactly as pictured and it is well made I really like it and sure will get much use out of it would buy it again and do trade with this vendor in the future
I got this for my brother (and the raven one for myself) for his birthday. I know that look. That "wow!" look that means I got him something he really likes. Absolutely worth it for that look. He was also impressed by how sharp it was and was looking forward to putting it to good use. Perfect gift!
Bad ass blade
I really like this knife.
Got this for my hubby for our 11th anniversary, which traditional gift is steel, he loved it!!

Really like the way this knife feels in my hand and that the blade isn't right up against my fingers. Good weight and arrived in good time. Thank you!

It is a Christmas gift so I am not sure how well it will be liked. The craftsmanship seems to be well done and it is very unique. Service was excellent and delivery was fast. I will be continuing to do business with Norse Tradesman. Very happy with my purchase
I enjoyed the product so much I immediately went back to the store to purchase more items.! The quality and feel are great and is recommend it to anyone!
Very nice knife. The weight feels great, the edge is free of any dents, but could use honing, the finish will leave marks on stuff if you aren't careful. The sheath has also been improved from the one pictured, and is now made from much thicker, sturdier leather. Very happy with the purchase.
Certainly seems to draw the attention of knife aficionados.
The knife is amazing. It's beautifully made and extremely sharp. I like the fact that it's a weapon and at the same time has a deep artistry about it. The forging of such weapons is fascinating. Thanks again!
Great, well balanced knife. D
Highly recommend
I was curious about Saxons .
It's ok.
Solid piece of steel, very sturdy. The boar's head is pretty well done, I'm very pleased with that. The leather wrap is nice, as well, although I don't know how long it will last before needing to be redone.
The grind on the blade isn't great, asymmetrical, not pretty. Still fairly sharp out of the box, and I can easily resharpen it. There's a slight twist in the blade. Didn't notice for a couple days, but once I did, quite offputting. The sheath isn't great, either. Not terrible, but I'll almost certainly make another before this one wears out. There's no welt, the stitching isn't that tight, and the leather is a little too supple. The way the belt loop is sewn, it leaves a single layer of leather between the loop stitching and top of the sheath where it will undoubtedly rip after a while.
I honestly can't remember how much this cost. It was a gift and is currently sold out, so no price listed. I wouldn't pay more than $30 for it, though, not for this level of craftsmanship.
Bought this for my husband. We are both outdoors people and wish I would have got another for myself. He's very impressed with the spine, sheath, and over all construction and care that went into making this knife.
Well finished very sharp ,it also fits in the hand very well.
I love the knives. They are beautiful and true to the ancient design.
