Hi folks,
This is a knife which I recently finished for William Henry Studio.
It's called...
'Beowolf'
Some 1,400 years ago, there lived a legendary fighter and explorer named Beowolf. His tale recounts that he journeyed across the seas to come to aid of the king of Denmark, who was beset by a fearsome monster,known as the Grendel. After slaying the Grendel, the beast’s mother also came seeking vengeance and was also vanquished by Beowolf, in an epic hand-to-hand struggle. Years later, now crowned as a King in Scandinavia, he died heroically, in the course of slaying a Dragon. He was buried with honour & centuries later,his stories recorded in an epic manuscript.
In 1939, an entire Viking ship was found, buried at Sutton Hoo in the south of England. Archaeologists were amazed to find it contained the body of a great king, lying in state, surrounded by fantastic treasures, armour and weapons. More and more evidence emerged that this was indeed the final resting place of the hero upon whom the fable was based.
His sword belt was secured by a great golden buckle, carved with workmanship unmatched by any other treasure from this period. These designs have now been brought through the ages, to grace a knife that celebrates one of the greatest heros of Norse saga.
Thanks for looking,
Jo
