No knights.  I do have a large type non-fighting firewood-splitting lord... 
that's a period substitute, isn't it?  Besides, I only need an ounce or two 
at a time, if it's for almond milk or sauces.  I usually only cook for two or 
three of us at Pennsic.  Maybe I'll give it a try at home... crunch it in the 
mortar, then shake it in a jar with the liquid.
