Tutankhamun's Knives

Hmmm...maybe they could've Gold plated the iron blade?


Seriously though, I love the design and execution of those knives.
Very pleasing to the eyes and truly fit for a king.
 
More likely a ceremonial knife .However gold would handle like copper so it would work harden.
 
I like them too, I have always been partial to ancient Egyptian aesthetics.

And is NO thread safe from mention of the infamous smatchet?!

Yes!

I was just at the King Tutankamen exhibit at the De Young Museum in San Francisco yesterday.

I wanted to take a picture of the dagger but the security lady wagged a finger and reminded me that there were no photos allowed in the gallery.
