TWISTED STEEL FEAST & RUN UTENSIL SET211115 Blackened Steel Utensil Set Hand forged Knife, Fork, with leather sheath 211115
This 2-piece hand-forged utensil set is constructed from stainless steel to minimize maintenance and has been blackened to preserve its authentic forged appearance. For the Highlander on the run, the fork is four-tined (highly unusual for the period). Its twisted stem extends full length into a hook handle for a rugged grip and easy hang for quick carry or storage. The knife has a short drop point blade with a curved edge and a fine point, and comes sharpened and ready for feasting. Like the fork bowl, the blade has a smoothley brushed surface and features an identical handle to its forked companion. Comes with a slick Leather Sheath for quick carries when your strange fork conjures rumors that you may be some sort of Highland time traveler from the future. There can only be One MacLeod at every party, if you know what we mean; and with this set, it could be you!

Cutlery was a personal item and rarely supplied by a host - most people kept their eating utensils on their person, often in their belts, ready for wherever they might have their next meal. The fork was the latest addition, coming into widespread use in Europe only in the Renaissance. The tines, usually only two, were short and straight, not curved. Forks weren't being used to bring food from the plate to the mouth, but instead were used to spear a piece of food, lift it from the serving plate or bowl and shake any excess sauce from it before grabbing it with your fingers (and just the thumb and first two fingers at that) to pop in your mouth. Those choosing to use forks and who wish to stay as accurate as possible to the period would probably want to stick to a fork with two, straight tines; or eagerly wiggling fingers and a thumb or two.
