A knife and single pronged pricker (the fork before forks were cool). Simple but stylish cutlery for multiple eras of re-enacting, these are a perfect one-period-fits-all historic cutlery set for your camping trips, feasts, or even general use at home. Made of proper steel with black polished horn handles, brass accents, and a leather sheath, they are a great addition to any re-enactor or collectors feasting gear.
As forks only became popular in Europe in the 1700s, before then 'prickers' were often paired with knives to form eating sets. They consisted simply of a large stabbing rod affixed to a comfortable handle, and this pricker is no exception. Stab the food with the pricker to hold it in place for cutting with the knife, then into the mouth it goes. Failing that, there's always your fingers.
