These are Scutching knives! 🤩 a Swedish tool used in the process of turning flax into linen! Like a lot of agricultural tools, these morphed into weapons when the demand called for them!

I'm, like, STOKED to realize those are his- this could mean so many things for his character background 🤩

Also, a background processing linen might also explain why Swede is so good at sewing. His skeleton flag does have a lot of details in it.

True! I wonder if Stede picked up the Swede while he was buying summer linens???? My headcanons are rapidly spinning out of control rn

This gun, which i think is the one pete uses, is the same replica model as calico jack’s

I found a video of one being used to process flax and it confirms that they're most likely being used as bludgeoning weapons. I suspected as much, with the materials involved, but still cool to see the process
if you're interested.

Sometimes I rewatch and don't notice the green screen at all and sometimes it's absurd how cheesy it looks. Same scenes. same episodes different days. My brain
