Title
Socketed leather-working knife
Description
English: Cast copper alloy socketed leather-working knife dating from the Early Iron Age, i.e. c. 800-600BC. The knife is composed of two parts: a rectangular socket and a crescentic blade which are seperated by a thin moulded collar. The object is complete, but the blade is very worn. It would have been more than twice its size when made and its size has been reduced by wear and re-sharpening of the blade, not by damage. Only one other leather-working knife is recorded on the database: <a href="/database/artefacts/record/id/468521">NMS-6C4A15</a>. There are only few stray finds of these knives: the two on the PAS database and another from 'Staffordshire' which is in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. They have been found in Early Iron Age hoards, however, such as the hoards from Cardiff II (Leckwith, Vale of Glamorgan), Worthing (Sussex) and possibly Salisbury (Wiltshire). Only about a dozen or so examples are known from this country, but not from Scotland or Ireland.
