Mine are made in the same way as the originals - by hand, using fire and twisting it into a useful utensil. Hand forged in the 18th century manner. The flat steel at one end and the tines formed on the anvil.

Exactly copied from the originals, these are made from knife quality carbon steel, and have genuine horn and bone handles which are handfitted and polished.
Horn handle fork.
Bone handle knife. After years of trying, I have located a source for these, made from the original iron molds - and available in any quantity needed. Ribbed Rat Tail. Made by the same people who produce our full sized version. The fork tine points, when closed, fit into protective grooves in the handle.
