Title
Anglo-Saxon iron knife
Description
English: An Anglo-Saxon iron knife blade and tang with the tip missing from the blade. It measures 84mm in total length. 
 The tang is 27.3mm in length, 7.3mm in width tapering towards its temrinal to 5.7mm in width, it is 4.8mm in thickness and has a rectangular cross-section.
 
 The blade is triangular in shape and tapers towards its missing terminal end.  It flares abruptly from the tang, it has a convex cutting edge and a straight back edge.  It is 11.9mm in width at the tang end and 6.6mm in width at the terminal end.  The back edge is thicker than the cutting edge, measuring c4.5mm, the cutting edge narrows to 1.3mm in thickness, the blade therefore has a elongated wedge or triangular-shaped cross-section.
This iron blade and tang is similar in shape to several Anglo-Saxon examples from Ipswich (West 1998, 196-197, fig 78-fig 79, no 11.1-11.6 and no 1.1-4).
