Title
Anglo-Saxon iron knife
Description
English: An incomplete iron knife, probably dating to the Anglo-Saxon period, sixth or seventh-century. The tang of the knife is mostly missing and the perimeter of the knife is corroded, however it is still possible to make out the original profile of the knife blade. The blade has an low-arched back and a high-arched cutting edge. The back is 4mm in width (including corrosion) and tapers to the cutting edge.
