For sale: a helmet, a knife and a spear head.

Post by Thorkil.pl »

We are raising funds for bigger and safer workshop (the one I am working in now isn't a safe, nor healthy place for such a work. we are working on renovation of another building that gives much more opportunities), so I decided to reduce prices of pieces I have in stock. If you can, inform your friends, please.

There might be some other helmets for sale in near future. Probably a Nikolskoie helmet and two "Norman" helmets raised in one piece of steel. Anyone would be interested?

More photos on web site: http://www.thorkil.pl/for_sale_eng.htm

1) Knife with pattern-welded blade and handle of black oak, mahogany, antler and brass.
Price: 800 PLN (reduced from 900PLN)
It's about 205 euro. In USD it's about 295$.
Hand forged blade. Beautiful pattern.
Total length: 21,4cm
Blade's length: 10,7cm
Handle's length: 10,7cm

You can also order a leather sheath with silver or brass fittings.

2) Gnezdovo helmet with handmade lining and riveted aventail.

Fantastic quality! I made the helmet for myself, but have never used it.
You can buy the helmet with lining and aventail, or without.

The helmet :
* hand forged
* riveted contruction
* steel - 2mm, medium carbon, blackened matt finish with very nice texture
* brass trident and brow band, which makes nice contrast to dark colour of steel
*brass plate 1,5mm
* it's for a head around 58 cm in circumference (if with pictured lining). If we change the lining to leather one it would fit max. 59,5cm.


Price of helmet without lining and aventail:
4500PLN

It's about 1140 euro. In USD it's about 1660$.
Some reasonable haggle will be accepted.

Lining:
*hand sewn of linen and felt by Marcin Glinianowicz
*linen is hand woven.
Price: 500PLN
It's about 127 euro. In USD it's about 185$.

Aventail:
* handmade by Pawel Dubiel
*made of riveted rings size 6mm
Price: 2500PLN
It's about 633 euro. In USD it's about 923$.

3) Pattern-welded Viking spear head with silver and copper inlay on the the funnel.
SOLD!

Hand-forged. Inlay of silver and copper wires. Additional engraving between silver and copper. Sharp!

Total length : 39,3 cm
Blade's length : 24,8cm
Length of inlayed funnel : 14,5cm

Price : 3500 PLN (reduced from 4500 PLN!)
It's about 887 euro. In USD it's about 1292$.

I must say if not the better workshop I desperately need I would prefer to keep it all for myself.
It's a big bargain for such quality.

If anyone would be interested in Nikolskoie helmet (welded version) or "Norman" helmet raised in one piece, please let me know. there isn't much work to finish them , so the waiting time would pretty short.
This is Nikolskoie helmet: http://www.thorkil.pl/nikolskoie_eng.htm

I love that Gnezdovo helmet.

I can't afford it, so I won't be buying it. But I love it none the less.

What would a sheath for the knife run, approximately?

David, if you are asking about sheath with brass fittings, then it would cost from 150 to 220USD.
Something in this kind for 150USD.

or like this, but the chain costs some extra money:

And 220USD for something like this:

A simple leather sheath would be for free. But in my opinion such a nice knife deserve some bling in scabbard, too. :)

If the knife remains available by May 6th I will purchase it. We can discuss the sheath at that time.
