Medieval eating pick - square

Medieval eating pick of iron with a polished tip.

This hand-forged eating pick, also called pricker or skewer, is artfully crafted with a polished tip and an elegantly forged end.

Like its historical medieval predecessors, the eating pick has a torsion, which makes it particularly easy to grip, and is forged into an elegant eyelet at the end, so that a leather strap can be threaded through the eating pick it if required.

The dimensions of the medieval eating pick are 16 x 1.5 cm.

The eating pick was widespread during the Middle Ages, as the fork was considered diabolical due to its tines and was used at best as a roasting fork or to fish pieces of meat out of the cauldron.

Apart from a spoon, only the hands, a knife or the eating pick were used for eating. The pick was also used to break open the bones to get at the marrow and at the same time as a toothpick.

A long pick can be found in the Middle Ages on both civilian and military clothing, as well as a component of hunting tools. Knife scabbards and even sword scabbards often had an extra sheath for this spike. It was therefore not only used for eating, but also for all kinds of everyday tasks.
