Twybils
As far as I can tell, in the past, twybils were made by local blacksmith's and in more recent times, because all the twybils I've seen have looked 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, and it works extremely well and is nicely balanced. We have had leather sheaths made to fit.
