Culturally and Nationally sigificant knives?

[StrawHat]

Butcher, to be specific. What we think of as the "French Chef's Knife" evolves a bit later. The German "chef's" knife at the time is heavier and more curved. Likely the knife that was forged would be something like a butcher with a clip and a guard added to facilitate slashing, hacking, and thrusting.

Thank you for correcting that. I had them reversed.

Here I was all set to throw up a photo of America's knife, the Kabar... and BOOM... no military.

Well, seeing as how we all had one in high school in the 70s, and they're still sought after today... I offer up this.
