Title
A Medieval - Post Medieval iron incomplete knife.
Description
English: A Post Medieval iron incomplete knife (16th – 17th century). The majority of the blade is broken and missing. The handle has a rectangular cross-section with four rivet holes to secure the wooden or horn panels. The handle had a decorative terminal that is obscured by corrosion but appears to be globular with ridges that curl around and up towards the finial. The blade is narrow and has a triangular cross-section.

Similar examples are illustrated in Egan (2005:87-88) that are dated AD1575 – 1650.

Dimensions: length: 120.5mm; width: 6.9mm; thickness: 2.5mm; weight: 16.9g.
