Twybils
As far as I can tell, in the past, twybils were made by local blacksmith's, because all the examples I've seen have looked distinctly different and most quite crudely designed. They also seem to differ in the way they worked. We have used a particular twybil for a long time and asked tool maker Ashley Iles to design one based on our sample. The result is the tool we now have for sale, it is nicely balanced and works extremely well. We have had leather sheaths specially made to fit.
