Nordwelt-Versand is proud to offer you yet another authentically re-created piece of Viking and Germanic flatware!
Handmade of folded steel, and twisted in the awesome design pictured here! It has a length of about. 24- 25 cm (9.4 - 9.8").
Did you think that the eating tool, known as a fork happened just like that? It was first used by Viking and Germanic tribes, and eventually brought to England via Viking trading ships! The fork we offer is a scaled down version of the 6 to 9 foot forked spears that were used in hunting wild game.
Do you wish to know how the 4 pronged fork that we use today, came into being? The christians in England saw this eating utensil and freaked out! They actually thought that the 2 pronged fork was a product of some Devil! They believed if they used such a tool at dinner, they would be damned to Hell forever! So, what they did was to add another pair af tines to the twin pronged fork. That is how our "modern" forks came into being!
