I was about to start work on another bunch of late Byzantine/early medieval iron blades as gifts for my friends in the SCA when I caught myself thinking about these as "newer stuff." Sure, they're about half the age of some of the bronzes, and about a quarter as old as a few of the stone palm knives.
Still. They're about fifteen hundred years old, and come from both the time and the place of the children of Belisarius.
So I got to thinking: What is an old knife to you? Is it related to age, value, memories, history, or what?
