Description: | An almost complete socketed knife with some corrosion to the blade which is sub-triangular in plan, the sides which are badly corroded taper evenly towards the tip. The tip is broken of and missing a small fragment, therefore it is not possible to be certain of its original shape. The blade has a slightly raised flattened midrib section on both faces, with broad edge bevels. The junction between the socket and the blade is straight with a simple 'step' from socket to blade. The socket is quite 'waisted' in plan, and a waisted oval in cross-section, the junction of the socket and blade is wider than the mouth, which has no obvious mouth-moulding, the edge of the mouth is slightly corroded and there is a small section missing. There is a circular aperture, presumably the peg hole, on both faces of the socket. The mouth is oval, and the socket sub-triangular in section. There is some wood remaining in the socket.
