Description

Large medieval fire saw

A hale saw is almost indispensable when cooking over an open fire. Since the Middle Ages until modern times, the hale belonged to the equipment of every kitchen and is still well suited for cooking over an open fire in LARP and medieval reenactment.

The medieval fire saw was forged in elaborate handwork and is based on historical models. It is equipped with eight teeth, which serve to regulate the height of the cauldron above the fire. The manufacturing process allows for optimal control and adjustment of the heat source. It is from this that the well-known saying "take a tooth" is derived.

The importance of the fire saw also extended to medieval law. When a house was sold, the kettle hook that hung on the fire was taken by the lord of the manor and given to the buyer. In some regions it was traditional for the newlywed to give his bride an ornately decorated kettle hook as a wedding gift, symbolically handing over responsibility for the kitchen and hearth to her. In heraldry, too, kettle hooks and kettle saws are often found on coats of arms. They illustrate the importance of fire and hearth as central to medieval life.
