Description: | Iron butchering knife, probably dating to the post medieval period. The knife is sub-rectangular in shape and has a whittle tang where the handle would have been attached (this was probably wooden). The knife has only one cutting edge (indicating that it is not for use as a weapon) and has a blunt end and thickened ridge running across the top of the blade (these are typical features of a butchering tool). The squared off, blunt end of the knife suggests a post-medieval date as most medieval knives had a pointed end. The knife measures 208mm in length, 43.3mm in width and 16.4mm in thickness. It weighs 258g.
