The fire pit saw genuine use in the medieval period for protection against cold, round in shape and appropriate for burning wood in open space.
Containing a fire safely mattered as much in the medieval period as at a modern re-enactment camp, and a raised, based fire pit addressed that directly. This reproduction offers an alternative build within our round fire pit range.
Deepeeka’s reproduction recreates that practical form, part of our historical camp range.

This forged spoon and fork set is inspired by the Medieval period and was mainly used by campers for practical outdoor eating. It has a hook-like end that can be used to hang the utensils from a belt or pack for convenient carry. Spoons rank among the very oldest eating utensils in history, with roots stretching back to ancient Egypt, long predating the fork’s much later arrival in Western dining.
A fire striker, or fire steel, is a piece of high-carbon steel struck against flint or similar hard stone to shave off tiny particles of metal that ignite as sparks, hot enough to catch tinder such as char cloth. This version is styled after fire strikers associated with Novgorod and wider Eastern European finds, offering a distinct regional profile from the more commonly reproduced Scandinavian shapes. Eastern European strikers developed their own regional character, related to but genuinely distinct from Viking Scandinavian patterns.
A fire striker, or fire steel, is a piece of high-carbon steel struck against flint or similar hard stone to shave off tiny particles of metal that ignite as sparks, hot enough to catch tinder such as char cloth. This version follows an oval profile, a form documented as particularly common in areas of Swedish influence, including finds from Finland and Eastern Europe. Regional variation in striker shape reflects genuinely local blacksmithing traditions across the medieval and Viking-Age world.
This fork and knife set is designed with ease of use and storage in mind, highly useful for campers at re-enactment events. Forks reached Western Europe only slowly and controversially, first documented in Italy through an 11th-century Byzantine marriage and not widely accepted for centuries. A practical, compact pairing suited to camp cooking and dining.
