actually the slightly larger version is quite comfortable to use.
I know that they were used as eating utinsils and have been excavated in Viking graves but other than that I couldn't comment on how much and for what else they were used for.

DC:
Thanks

JEB:
Outstanding work Kevin.

They are actually pretty comfy, and if it is truly sharp, tthe blade does all the work. They we're more of a utility knife though

DC:
I'll believe you guys, I've never used one :D
