Dimensions & Weight
Exact measurements for this piece are being added — reach out and we're happy to confirm dimensions before you order.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap, and dry immediately — never leave a blade soaking or run it through a dishwasher. Wipe on a light coat of food-grade mineral oil after use to protect the steel, and store it dry in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip. A few seconds of care after each use keeps a hand-forged edge true for decades.
Personalisation & Engraving
Add free engraving with the option above — up to 20 characters on the blade, or engrave the leather sheath. Adds 2 business days. Engraved pieces are final sale. For any other engraving request, email us at info@northboundblade.com.

About this piece
A hand-forged place setting in a black finish.
Four medieval-style utensils for one person at the table: a knife, a spoon, a two-prong fork and a food pick, forged from carbon steel in a dark, hammered finish. The knife has a twisted handle that bends into a loop, and the spoon and fork have twisted necks with a small curl at the end.
- Four pieces in carbon steel: knife, spoon, two-prong fork and food pick.
- Black hammered finish on every piece.
- Twisted by hand: each set is slightly different.
- Leather sheath included.
- Free engraving: up to 20 characters on the knife blade or on the leather sheath. Engraving adds 2 business days, and engraved pieces are final sale.
Size (approximate): the pieces are about 7 to 9 in (18 to 23 cm) long. Every piece is forged by hand, so sizes vary slightly.
What's included: 1 knife, 1 spoon, 1 fork, 1 food pick and a leather sheath.
Made to order: each set is forged after you order.
Care: carbon steel can rust if it is left wet. Hand wash, dry right away, and wipe the steel with a little food-safe oil now and then. Not for the dishwasher.
Also available in forged steel with a leather sheath roll: Viking-Style Cutlery Set.
