Thread Name: Matty Groves pocket knife query
Subject: RE: Matty Groves pocket knife query
That'll almost certainly be any small knife used for eating, hunting etc. rather that the modern 'penknife' that we would use today. Cutlery beyond a spoon and sharp knife was relatively rare unless you were nobility even about 400 years ago. Is that the right sort of answer or am I just having a mad moment....
