Suggestions for a companion knife?

Not at all! I would still love input for my comrades.

In that case - I wanted to say that puukko would be less than perfect for the food part because of the blade thickness (but it would do great about the rest). I wanted to propose something like Mora - they have plenty different models (classical and modern) with either carbon or stainless (19C27) steel. I have Mora 2000 and it is a great knife and bargain for its price. I am still considering making (or having made) a handle for it. I just do not know how would I solder some piece of metal onto the tang to make it longer (the knife begs for a birch bark handle)
 
Reading this thread was a great way to start my morning. This really is the best community on the net.

Is that knife a correct pattern for the period?

Technically, it is a seax. This would make it ancient Norse. However, the Wharncliffe shape took major popularity at the start of the 19th century. One could consider this a over sized Wharnie, in my opinion. And that makes it period!

I was looking at them, but none of them quite caught my eye. I will keep it in mind for the rest of the unit, though. They aren't really into knives, so if I can get them a quality knife for a good price, they will be happy about that.

There is no doubt about that. I have been a member of countless forums, but I have yet to come across anything like this.
