The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
This knife is patterend after a 17th and 18th century style of knives that was commonly used for a Fighting game called "Stavast" (Or stand fast/solid). The combatants were called "Bekkensnijders" (Face or Maul cutters) and the object of the game was to make the other person bleed from the head. When that happened the game was over.
These knives were usually their general purpose knives. Used for eating, farm chores and other things in daily life.
They were carried in the pants pocket.
This one is C100 carbon steel (similar to 1095 but with finer grain), a copper collar a Wengé wooden handle and Nickelsilver pin.
