The known 9th - 14th centuries types of knives from the territory of the Czech Republic also include those that differ from common production parameters. While some of them were undoubtedly luxurious pieces (such as pattern-welded knives), others could have served for “specific” purposes (e.g. all-metal knives usually described as ‘healer knives’). A basic overview of these types, the methods of their blacksmith production, and the possibilities of their identification and archaeological study are discussed and presented.
